Winter is approaching: what better time to check the efficiency of your wiper blades and replace them if necessary. It is advisable not to replace just the rubber inserts, as those available in the aftermarket are generally of poor quality and tend to deteriorate quickly: opt for replacing the entire blade, choosing from the various brands available.

To replace the rear wiper blade, pull it away from the rear screen, rotate it about ninety degrees, and press outward to release it. Then, insert the new blade, aligning the hook correctly, and press to secure it.
