Removing wipers is actually a very easy task. Whether you want to replace new windscreen wipers or remove them for cleaning and maintenance, as long as you prepare the tools and follow the steps below, you can easily get it done.
Prepare tools
1. A small flat-head screwdriver
2. A towel or soft cloth (to prevent scratching the glass)
Step 1: Lift the wiper arm
First, gently lift the wiper arm from the windshield to a 45 to 90-degree position. Note: Do not let the wiper arm suddenly bounce back and hit the glass.
Step 2: Unlock the clip that fixes the wiper
There is usually a small clip (hook or button) where the wiper blade and the wiper arm are connected. This is the fixing device. You must open it first before you can successfully remove the wiper blade.
Different models may have different fixing methods:
Press the clip: If there is a small protrusion at the bottom of the wiper, press it and the wiper blade will loosen.
Unlock the hook: Some cars have wipers fixed with hooks. Gently slide or rotate the hook to remove the wiper.
Press the release button: Some new cars have a release button that allows the wiper blade to be easily removed with the push of a button.
Step 3: Remove the wiper blade
Once the fixings are released, you can slide the wiper blade off the wiper arm. If it is stuck tightly, you can gently shake it from side to side to help it loosen. Remember not to use too much force to avoid damaging the wiper arm.
Step 4: Check the wiper arm
By the way, check the wiper arm for rust or dust accumulation. If there is rust or dirt, wipe it with a cloth and add some detergent if necessary. This will ensure that the new wiper will wipe better after installation.
Step 5: Install new wipers (if necessary)

Beginner's Tips
1. Not sure which wipers to buy? You can check the vehicle manual or go to the auto parts store to ask the staff for help.
2. Don't use too much force when operating to avoid damaging the spring part of the wiper arm.
3. It is best to replace both wipers at the same time so that the wiping effect is consistent and the use will not be affected by the mismatch between the left and right.
Follow these steps and you can easily disassemble and install the window wipers yourself. Don't worry, take your time, and you can always ask professionals for help if you have any questions!
