- Pull out the end of the blade rubber
assembly to unlock it from the plastic
support.

the plastic support.

Metal spines
- If the new blade rubber is not provided
with two metal spines, remove the metal
spines from the old blade rubber and install
them in the new blade rubber.

- Align the claws of the plastic support
with the grooves in the blade rubber
assembly, then slide the blade rubber
assembly into place.

support

the wiper may scratch the rear window
glass.
