Windscreen Wiper Blade Replacement

Model: Volkswagen Passat 3BG, B5 - Years 1996-2005
Part: Windshield wipers

If the windscreen wiper blades are ineffective, it is important to replace the entire blade including the support arm rather than just the rubber insert, as the rigidity of the arm is essential for proper contact of the rubber with the windscreen. Check the length of the blades against the originals and the type of attachment to the wiper arm; lift the arm, rotate the blade 90° and press the locking tab while pulling it down to detach it; then fit the new blade, also rotated 90°, and press the locking hook until the tab clicks into place.
