Lift the wiper arm (arm and blade) away from the windscreen until it reaches its limit. As shown in the video, lift the hook that secures the blade to the arm, slightly bend the blade, and remove it from the umbrella-style attachment of the arm. Similarly, insert the new blade by locking it into the arm's attachment, then close the plastic hook.

The operation is the same for both front wipers and also for the rear, which does not even have a closing hook. Remember not to rest the arm on the windscreen while the blade is missing.
