2.) Next, lift the windscreen wiper arm away from the glass, locking them in an upright position if your car allows them to fully extend.

4.) Slide out the windscreen wiper and hold the wiper arm in place, if it were to spring back onto your windscreen without the wiper blade attached it could crack the glass.

5.) Take your new windscreen wiper and slide it into place, if your wipers feature a locking button you should see it click into place, wipers with a locking tab may need manually clipping back into place.
