How to Replace Flat Wiper Blades Like a Pro?

Driving in rainy or snowy conditions can be inconvenient and dangerous if your wiper blades suddenly stop working properly. Flat wiper blades distribute pressure evenly, significantly reducing scratches, noise, and ice buildup compared to traditional frame wiper blades. However, even the best wiper blades wear out, so it's important to replace them regularly. This process only takes a few minutes.

5-Minute Flat Wiper Blade Replacement


1. Tools Required

A new flat wiper blade and a microfiber cloth. Gloves are also recommended for clean hands.

2. Vehicle Preparation

Pull the vehicle onto level ground and lift the wiper arm from the windshield. Be careful not to let the metal arm bounce back, as this can crack the glass.

3. Remove the Old Wiper Blade

Locate the small release tab near where the wiper blade connects to the arm and pinch or press it. Slide the wiper blade downwards. Gently shake it if it's stuck. Discard the old wiper blade properly.

4. Installing New Wiper Blades

Open your wiper blade packaging and align the connector of your new flat wiper blade with the hook on the wiper arm. Push upward until it snaps securely into place. Gently pull to confirm the lock.

5. Testing and Cleaning

We test and clean our new wiper blades by slowly lowering the wiper arm, then spraying windshield washer fluid and testing the flat wiper blades at a low speed. Finally, we wipe the rubber edges with a microfiber cloth to remove any factory residue.

FAQ


How do I know when to replace my wiper blades?

It's time to replace your wiper blades.

1. Streaks or blurred patches appear after wiping;

2. Squeaking or shuddering noises occur during operation;

3. Visible cracks or fissures appear in the rubber.

In snowy areas, wiper blades should be replaced every six months; in milder climates, annual replacement is sufficient.


If my car has traditional frame-type wipers, can I use flat wiper blades?

Of course. Flat wiper blades are compatible with any vehicle—they attach to the same wiper arm hook. Our flat wiper blades include 12 adapters for brands like Toyota, Ford, BMW, and Tesla. Simply match the adapter to the shape of your wiper arm hook.


Advantages of Flat Wiper Blades

Replacing wiper blades is easy. SPOTLESS's graphite-coated rubber glides smoothly, while the steel frame twists with torque in heavy snow. Plus, our noise-reducing technology keeps you quiet even in a downpour.

Pro tip: Apply rubbing alcohol to your windshield every three months. It dissolves grime that accelerates wiper blade wear.
