Procedure
- Park the ACURA on a level surface. Remember to set the parking brakes and remove the key from the ignition.
- Determine which wiper blade you are going to change first. Move the wiper blade up.
Be careful; do not let the wiper arm fall on the windshield. - Use a small flat screwdriver to lift the plastic clip that locks the wiper in place. Not all ACURA wipers have this plastic clip. If yours doesn’t, continue to the next step.
- Rotate the wiper slightly so that you can press the wiper release.
- Press the release tab and pull down the windshield wiper, as shown in this picture.
- Grab the new wiper. Be extremely careful so the wiper arm doesn’t fall on your ACURA glass. If the wiper arm drops on the glass, it can crack the windshield.
- Slide the new wiper into the wiper arm until you hear it click.
- Lastly, follow the same procedure to change the other wiper blade.
Be careful; do not let the wiper arm fall on the windshield.
