   Be sure to take note of which new blade length goes on which side.
   Measure or just compare old blade length to the new wiper blades.

   • Insert the curved part of the J hook through the top opening of the wiper blade.
     Guide the wiper blade in to the J hook and pull upward on the wiper until it locks in to place.
     

   • Check all connections...

     Tug on the wipers to double check that all wiper blades are locked on to the wiper arms.

   • Lower wipers back down to their functional positions.

     Carefully lower your new wipers down to your windshield. Discard old wipers and packaging material.
