Replacing Windscreen Wiper Blades on VW Golf 5

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: Windshield wipers

Replace the damaged wiper blades on the Golf 5. Take the front wiper blade (to be replaced) with your hands, pull the movable blade as shown in the video, and slide it off the arm on the windscreen. Fit the new blade onto the arm (if the blade is not original, detach the piece as shown in the video), and you will hear a click indicating it is secured. Finally, lower the wiper arm onto the windscreen and perform the same operation on the second blade. Operate the control levers and check the functioning of the blades.
