How to Replace a Windscreen Wiper Blade

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Windshield wipers

Video tutorial

Here’s how to replace the rubber blade (i.e., the wiper) of the windscreen wiper, rather than the entire arm. Take the wiper arm and detach it from the glass for easier access. At the ends, there are "teeth" that hold the blade in place within the wiper structure.

Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to widen these two teeth, which, once widened, will allow the blade to detach, sliding it out of the metal guides along its length. Be careful not to break them! Take the replacement blade (which is sold in universal cut-to-size packs) and cut it to the correct length by comparing it with the old one. Insert the new blade into the metal guides, ensuring it is fitted in the same direction as the old one, and then close the teeth that were previously widened.

Reattach the wiper to the glass and perform a functionality test.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
