Video tutorial

In this video tutorial, you can see how to replace the rear wiper on an Opel Astra J by following some simple steps: get into the vehicle, turn off the car, and pull the handbrake. Lift the wiper arm to remove the blade; press the button and slide it out. Take the new blade and install the necessary adapter to mount it. To position the blade, slide it into its support, then rest the arm back onto the windscreen.

Now lift the wiper arm and tilt the blade at 45°. To remove the blade, pull it towards you to free it from its support bar, then take it off. Now insert the new blade by doing the opposite of how you removed the old one, and slide it along its guide.

Job done, gently rest the blade back on the windscreen.
