To replace the wiper blades on a Volkswagen Golf, follow these steps. First, lift the wipers to a vertical position for easier access.

Then, rotate the blade so it is perpendicular to the wiper arm and locate the locking mechanism on the top of the blade. Press the locking mechanism and slide the blade down to remove it from the wiper arm. Once the old blade is removed, compare it with the new one to ensure they are the same size.

Now, insert the new blade into the wiper arm, ensuring it is correctly aligned. Slide the blade up until you hear a click, indicating it is locked in place.

Repeat the same process for the other wiper blade if necessary. Finally, lower the wipers onto the windscreen and ensure they are securely fixed.
