Today, you will learn how to replace the wiper blades on vehicles. This operation is the same for all car models, but we will use the Volkswagen Golf mk7 as an example.

Get into the car and turn on the ignition to activate the wiper function. Position the wiper blade vertically and turn off the vehicle.

After turning off the car, get out and lift the wiper blade off the windscreen. Press the central clip to detach the blade from the wiper arm. Insert the new blade and press the clip to secure it to the arm. Bring the blade back to the windscreen; repeat this procedure for the left blade.

Remember that wiper blades should always be replaced in pairs.

Grip the knob and gently pull it off while ensuring that the spring mounted on the lever does not get lost.
