How to replace wiper rubber
Replacement
Wipers have a limited lifespan. Please replace the wipers as soon as possible if you notice any noticeable streaks or residue, or if juddering or squealing becomes noticeable.
How to replace
-
STEP 01
Stand the arm up.
Stand the wiper arm up and tilt the blade slightly so that the wiper rubber faces upward.
- For retractable arms, refer to the work instructions in the car manual before proceeding.
-
STEP 02
Remove the blade.
It is easier to remove the blade.
While holding the stopper of the connector, slide the blade toward you for easy removal.
- The arm should be laid down after removal. This will prevent the glass from being damaged by accidental falling.

STEP 03
Pull out the old wiper rubber.
Grasp the side with the stopper and pull it out of the fitting with a little force.

Insert new wiper rubbers.
Now insert the claws of the metal fittings from the side without the lock holes while passing the claws through the grooves in the rubber.

STEP 05
Insert the blade claws into the rubber.
Push the rubber in from the direction of the arrow until the claw enters the lock hole.

STEP 06
Attach the blade to the arm and you are done.
Install the blade on the arm in the reverse order of how it was removed and you are done. Make sure that the connector claws snap into the holes on the arm.
- After installation, check the wipers for proper operation just to be sure.
