Windscreen Wiper Blade Replacement

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf IV, MK 4, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Windshield wipers

Replacing the windscreen wiper blades is extremely simple and does not require special tools; before proceeding with the replacement, ensure that the new blades are the same length as the original ones and have the same type of attachment to the wiper arm; then lift the wiper arm, rotate the blade 90 degrees relative to the arm, and release the locking tab to remove it; insert the new blade, also rotated 90 degrees relative to the arm, and ensure it clicks securely into place.
