No idea how to detach the old wiper blades
They are RainX brand. I looked all over YouTube but found nothing.
Anyone have any idea how to detach this style wiper? Last edited by daniloneil8; 12-17-2020 at 10:14 PM. |

Yes, that is what I was doing. Tried both directions.
Do these blades get welded on somehow? |

There is a tab on the bottom where the hook is.
Push it towards the wiper arm and pull the blade towards the car. It is probably a bit stubborn but it'll release with elbow grease. I usually end up twisting the blade so it's horizontal and using it as leverage to push to out. |

Yup, I also tried making the blade parallel to the arm as I yanked it towards the base of the wiper arm. Nothing.
I might need to get a helper to hit it with a hammer or something. Never had this much trouble. Wondering if the seller Krazy Glued this on. I've seen worse. |

I read another thread that says you need to lift a latch.
I am not near my car, but there is a latch you need to open??? |

Do not click the helpful link in the 2nd post of this thread. It's obviously a virus! These guys are tricking you! You have to replace the entire wiper arm :O

LOL, I already clicked the useless link.
And I already stated that I already tried to push the wiper towards the base of the wiper arm. Last edited by daniloneil8; 12-17-2020 at 10:13 PM. |
