: Replacing Wiper Blades

Picked up a new set of blades. Brought the step stool out to the rig. Lifted first wiper to remove old blade. Recalled that the wipers only lift about 3" on our trucks. Thought about it for a second. Examined connection of blade to wiper arm. Confirmed that I needed to lift the wiper off the windshield far enough to remove the old blade without breaking/bending it. Checked the wiper arm to make sure there wasn't some sort of release. Confirmed that there wasn't. Returned to the garage with new blades still in hand. Went into the house to post this dumb question and find out how you change wiper blades on our trucks!


Help for a dummy?

In case anyone else needs help, I got this message from someone as a private message:


Hi, The blades come off easily, just push the release and slide them towards the arm, dont need to twist them, just slide off. The arm has a U shaped hook in it that they lock into.
