| 1433974 | 2017-04-10 04:23:00 | I couldn't figure out how to remove and replace the rubber wiper blade of my Toyota Corolla. 7998 Google searched came up with a few Youtube instructions, but couldn't find anything similar mine as shown above. All other cars I previously owned were fairly easy to remove and replace the rubber blade but not this one. Anyone here owns a similar one? |

| 1433975 | 2017-04-10 04:36:00 | That there is a hook. Rotate the arm around and it should slide out | plod (107) | ||
| 1433976 | 2017-04-10 05:25:00 | Problem is, it cannot be rotated the arm around 180 deg, otherwise, it would be fairly easy, just to slide out the rubber blade and replace it. | bk T (215) | ||
| 1433977 | 2017-04-10 05:34:00 | Tilt and pull the arm back towards the slot. A bit hard to explain but it will come off | plod (107) | ||
| 1433978 | 2017-04-10 06:10:00 | I don't understand how. | bk T (215) | ||

| 1433980 | 2017-04-10 06:27:00 | Is it a frameless wiper? On my new frameless ones, you squeeze the lower sides of the body/enclosed bit. Then lift up the upper portion/cap at the end (facing towards the middle of the window). Then slide the wiper out of a tilting slide off the J shape arm, within the enclosed body bit. You should see a horizontal dividing line along the body/enclosed bit in order to achieve the above. However I tried to replace the rubber wiper - but it's a pain to replace, because two strips of metal runners/supports fell out. Becomes a bit difficult to replace entire wiper components. Gave up and bought another cheap one on eBay. i did rear wiper too - bit harder because it was just stiff as, i.e. rotate 180, but gently tugged back/forth several times until it released. Then replaced -pulled back off plenty times. then became easier to pull off. |

| 1433981 | 2017-04-10 07:09:00 | Try lifting up the small square plastic plug at the end of the metal arm to reveal the hook. | jebby (4580) | ||
| 1433982 | 2017-04-10 07:14:00 | The problem I had with my Camry is I was pulling it in the wrong direction, tricked by the hook shape. I got the guy at supercheap to do it and watched him and felt stupid, they do it for free if you buy from them though so why not. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1433983 | 2017-04-10 07:33:00 | Lurking: I've watched the youtube video but could not find the 'pin' he was taliking about to remove it. They look different from mine as shown in my attachment. dugimodo: going to supercheap could be an option. |
