How to Replace the Wiper Blades on a Citroen C1 MK1

Model: Citroen C1 MK 1 - Years 2005-2014
Part: Windshield wipers

Let’s see how to replace the wiper blades on a Citroen C1: you will need new wiper blades that are 26" for the driver and 16" for the passenger. You can find the kit, for example, on Amazon with the code B01M11KR3S at a price of £21.08 + £8.89 for delivery. First, put the wipers in "service position" by activating the wipers for a few seconds and turning off the car just as the blades are halfway up the windscreen, so that the arms remain raised. Lift the arm away from the windscreen, locate the release lever, insert a flat screwdriver into the slot, and press the plastic tab inward to release it, then pull the arm upwards without forcing it sideways. Be very careful not to let the arm drop onto the windscreen! The spring is very strong and could scratch it. Rest it on a cloth and then fit the new arm by pushing down until you hear a clear and decisive click. Return the arms to the resting position and the job is done.
