How to replace the windshield wiper blades of the Mini 2

Model: Mini Mini R53, R52, R50 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Windshield wipers

Today we will explain how to replace the front and rear windshield wiper blades of a Mini 2. To perform this operation, we need to lift the front windshield wiper arm and remove the blade by rotating it so that it is perpendicular to the arm and applying pressure on the clip to slide it out. Gently rest the arm on the windshield and perform the same step to remove the blade from the left arm. To install the new blade, we must lift the arm and slide it into its support. To replace the rear windshield wiper blade, we need to lift the arm and push the blade with our thumbs to release it. To install the new blade, we must insert it into the support.
