Just bought some new professional Silicone Wiper Blades and don’t know how to fit them? Not to worry, swapping Wiper Blades isn’t too complex and can only take around 5mins once you know what to do. The first thing you should know is when to actually change them, it’s vital that your Windscreen Wipers are working for the rainy weather but avoid changing them just before the summer as the hot sun can occasionally distort the rubber of the blades. As a general rule, Wiper Blades should be exchanged every year at least, but must also be checked every 6 months to ensure they are still functioning as normal. If the wipers are squeaking or rubbing against the windshield it doesn’t necessarily indicate they need replacing, sometimes just cleaning the windscreen can help (without wax, as this can make the blades too slippery) and also ensure the Wiper Blades aren’t fastened too tight creating unnecessary friction.

Now that all of the requirements are out of the way, it’s time to get onto the hands on work. To start, you will need to carefully lift the Windscreen Wipers so that they stand up and are clear of the windscreen. On most vehicles this only requires you to simply pull the blade outwards, if you are finding it hard, you can switch the ignition on, initiate the wipers and then shut the ignition off, this will leave the wipers standing vertical and you should find it simpler to lift them.
Next you will want to look at the size of the Wiper Blades as some vehicles have one smaller than the other and will need to be connected the right way around. Now we need to remove the current Wiper Blades and this is usually done by pushing in a small tab before sliding the blade out. Sometimes you may need to lift a tab up or even remove a screw with a screwdriver. Once both blades have been removed, the new Wiper Blades will easily slide into the wiper arm and click into place, don’t forget to ensure the fitting is tight and if any screws were removed that they be put back.

With the new blades attached it’s time to test to ensure they work. You will need to carefully drop the Windscreen Wipers so that they lie flat on the windscreen again and once more give them a slight tug to check they are secure and won’t come flying off as you drive away. With the wipers back in place, start the ignition and give them a go.

So there we have it, those new Silicone Wiper Blades you just bought don’t have to just remain in their box anymore, get out there and get them fitted!
