How to change just the wiper blade rubber

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Windshield wipers

Start with the rear wiper. Using a screwdriver, carefully detach the blade; each car model has its own sliding system. Remove the caps at the ends of the rail. Universal rubbers are available that can fit all types of rails. You can find them on Amazon for £4.99 per pair, with free delivery. Use pliers to remove the rubber from its housing by squeezing the rib that holds it in place. Fit the new rubber; if necessary, cut off any excess, replace the cap, and reinstall the rail. You can then refit it onto the vehicle. Follow the same procedure for the front wipers.

This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
