EASY TO DO YOURSELF

1. Pop off end cap at BASE of wiper arm.

2. Remove nut with 10mm wrench or ratchet.

3. Remove whole arm. Might have to rotate counter clockwise to

work it off.

4. Fold wiper blade assembly all the way back and it just slides out at angle.

5. Set new blade assembly in and reassemble arm and cap

They should have these instructions in the dealer part bag because I could

have broken the wiper arm. Luckily I googled this question after I became frustrated on how to remove the old one. I was looking for an answer to this that might have been better than how I accomplished the deed. So far I've had no luck but, this is what I did. I raised the the wiper from the window and grabbed the r8ubber with one hand. While holding the wiper assembly in one hand I gently pulled the rubber blade up to free it from the assembly and then pulled it out completely. I then removed the rubber from the Rainex replacement being careful not to allow the two metal strips come loose. Note that when you look at the Rainex replacement the rubber is closed in on end and open on the other in it's assembly (can't say for other types of replacements but, carefully is the operative word no matter). Gently but steadily pull from the closed end and the rubber comes free. Then just as carefully slide the opened end of the rubber onto the wiper blade assembly on the car and viola it's done. I would like to add my input to this question. I am currently in the process of replacing my rear wiper blade on my 05 Sienna. I found that by pulling up on the plastic cap near the base of the windshield wiper you can remove this cap. There is a nut you can remove and by doing that you can remove the windshield wiper. I bought a replacement wiper blade at Checker Auto Parts but it isn't compatible with the factory design. I will probably have to go to a Toyota dealer and get a factory blade.

How do you change wiper blades?

See Related Links Below For Wiper Blade Installation VideosRemoving wipers on most vehicles will be one of these procedures: If your wiper arm has a pin end: insert a flat blade screwdriver between the arm and the wiper blade and twist the screwdriver; the blade will pop off. Simply push the new blade on until it clicks. If your wiper arm has a hook end: Lift the arm/blade off the windshield, tip the top edge of the blade up toward you, and pull back on the blade until it releases. Some of these hook type can be stubborn so you might need to use some moderate force to remove them. Install the new blade by pushing it up into the hook until it clicks. I have personally installed THOUSANDS of pairs of wiper blades and still get frustrated when I do some of them, so Don't think you are doing it wrong ;some just get stuck on!
