How to Replace the Windscreen Wiper Blades on the Škoda Octavia?

Model: Skoda Octavia MK 2, 1Z - Years 2004-2012
Part: Windshield wipers

To replace the wiper blades on the Škoda Octavia, activate the wipers from inside the car and leave them in an upright position. Next, lift them by pulling them outward and rotate the blade 90° relative to the wiper arm. This will allow you to easily slide it off and replace it with a new spare part. Once the new blade is installed, return it to position by lowering the blade back onto the windscreen. After replacement, check the proper functioning of the components.
