Replacing the wiper blades of the windshield and tailgate glass

We replace the brushes when the quality of the windshield cleaning deteriorates, about once a year - better before the start of the autumn-winter period.

The length of the left brush - 550 mm, right - 480 mm, tailgate (hatchback) - 450 mm. Brushes should be periodically washed under the tap with warm water and soap.

If the brushes are heavily soiled or covered with ice, they should be removed and cleaned.

To do this, remove the lever with the brush from the windshield.

Be careful when removing the brushes: the lever under the action of the spring can fall sharply on the glass and split it.

Press and hold the brush release tab.



We move the brush from the hook of the lever so that the brush lock comes out of the hook..



... and remove the brush from the lever.

If you need to replace the brush retainer, move it off the brush axis and remove it.

Similarly, remove the other windshield wiper brush and the tailgate glass cleaner brush.

Install the brushes in reverse order.
