- It does not take a genius to replace a car's wiper blade. Even if you don't know how to change your engine oil, you may be able to replace the wiper blades because it is easier. In fact anyone can do it and it does not take time at all. The only questions you may have are: How likely is it that I will damage something? If it is so easy to replace the wiper blade, how is the blade held on so that it does not come off when in normal operation?
Since your wiper blade may be different than those on your friends' cars, the more variety of the design the less confidence you have because it can be confusing to even talk about it.
In this video, we examine 9 different cars, Japanese made, American cars and European designs. Once you learn the principles through these examples, even if it is something you have never seen before, you can figure it out easily.

Far and away, the very best instructions on CZcams I've seen. Excellent job!
Excellent instructions! You, unlike so many instructors, understand this concept: it's not "easy" until you've done it....and you can't do it unless you know how the parts disconnect and then re-connect. You are A+ teachers!
Thank you for taking the time to explain why you liked our video. Some people just prefer step 1,2,3 without explanation, I noticed that when I add explanation the video become longer thus youtube does not rank the video well, that maybe why creators don't do it and also that is why I am very glad that someone like you can appreciate this. I agree with you "understand this concept" is very important, another benefit is that once you understand it you will never forget, for example for many years I did not have the confidence and forget how to do it: czcams.com/video/No-rx8hjDZY/video.html
Thank you very much for this comprehensive video! You gave me the confidence to push down harder to remove the wipers from my J hooks.
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.
Outstanding! I watched for five minutes, and then replaced both wipers in one minute, exactly as advertised! Thank you very much!
yes, by design the wipers are very tightly fastened, thus it is better to watch the video carefully and understand how it works the first time you DIY. The second time will be much faster. Thank you for taking the time to share your precise time spent, your comments will help other viewers.
Would not have been able to remove my old windshield wiper without your video! Mine was rather complicated (5:49 in your video) with bumps on top and I was just lost with that one. Thank you so much!
Showing the different looks was very helpful in the instillation. Thanks for that clarity!
Totally clear instructions. I installed mine in 30 seconds. Great pictures.
Glad it helped. thank you for taking the time to share your results, your comments will help other viewers.
Taught me a lot. Confidently replaced wiper rubber in the rain after watching. Cheers.

Best wiper video on YT! Thank you for making this!
Great video... answered a few questions in my head. And I like that you are able to help people that ask follow up questions in the comment section.
Glad it was helpful! very kind of you to say so and thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.
Good video. Smart move using the auxiliary J blade; it did help to show the procedure with better clarity.
thank you for your positive feedback.
Very good and extremely detailed demonstration. Well done and thank you.
Glad it was helpful! thank you for taking the time to provide feedback, your comments will help other viewers.
Extremely well organized and concise. That was a lot of work to research and produce.
If you want to expand it a little bit, you could help me out and discuss the bayonet mounts on Mini Coopers (2013). They are very hard to source.
Thank you for taking the time to contribute to this topic, this will also help others. When you say "They are very hard to source" , did you mean it is hard to find the proper part for replacing? Or is it about removal or installation? I like bayonet type because it is very easy to install, you will hear a click sound once it is latched in. However it may not be easy to remove for the first time because you don't know which direction you should pull. Since bayonet is not "hook" type, so you don't have to pull the opposite direction first. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the attempt.
Thanks for a very informative video. Solved my problem as replacement used different coupling for J fitting. Joe
Glad it helped. Thank you for taking the time to share your result, it will help other viewers.
Thank you. Goodness. I had a weird kind that were on the vehicle that didn’t match the new ones I bought. I was confused for a good 30 min before I found this video. *THANK YOU*
Yes, we focused on explaining how they are connected, when you understand the mechanism you can learn a weird kind quickly. Thank you for taking the time to share your problem, your comments will help other viewers

Fine. But how do you actually remove the adapter on the new wiper if you have to change adapters?
LOVE This video. Thank you for your help. This video is perfect!

Brilliant Thankyou
Awesome I instruction thank you

Great video!. I appreciated. Leaving my LIKE ofcourse
Thank you
Omg I'm so mad right now, I have this old mighty brand on my Chevy uplander and they won't detach! I don't want to break the whole arm I've squeezed every part of the latch and the wiper will not come out, how do I know if it's jammed, I need a demonstration for THE MIGHTY brand
10:19. Where do you get the rubber refills??? they disappeared years ago.
Good video, but you just glossed over the pin type connection and in particular how to remove the blade from the arm. I'm working on an 85 chevy chevette. I see the pin but don't know how to disconnect it? Your answer appreciated. Thank you.
does it have a latch or a button that locks the pin? You need first to lift the latch. If it does not have a latch, you need to rotate the blade 90 degree. Another type that does not have a latch, you just need to pry it off with a flat screw driver, the pin could be quite tight, you may have to wiggle a little bit.
Thank you for helping us! Only one that did 2023
Tip: Buy silicone blades online. They can last years if you keep your windshield clean. Use RainX windshield fluid. The thin shield of film it leaves on each use reduces friction on the blade. Brick and mortar stores sell rubber blades because they wear out quicker. Extreme low and high temperatures ruin rubber blades. Silicone blades aren't affected by these temperatures. Silicone blades can cost double the rubber blades but you will change them much less often.
Thanks for the info! Thank you for taking the time to share your tips. Since there are many models, manufacturers and different ways to make this working, we welcome everyone to chime in to contribute to this topic to help our viewers.
thanks a bunch

I have a 9x3 J hook and trying to install a wiper from the dealer on a 2011 Subaru Forester XT. I really appreciate the detailed instructions as I am sure the video took some time to put together. I don't think your video shows a connector similar to this one. Subaru part number SOA591U424. I am having a heck of a time figuring out how it works. The instructions in the packaging make it look like is the kind that you pop the hinge, slide on the J hook and snap the cover back in but the instructions do not match the wiper itself. Very frustrating. The plastic piece pivots but it does not come out very much. If you push and pivot the hinge it simply presses against the blade on the other side and the plastic piece pops out. It looks like it might have a tab but it is very hard to get your finger in there. I guess it is possible that Subaru of Dayton sold the wrong blade to the person who picked it up for me. As I type this maybe I will double check part compatibility. The blade was $14 but it is the first replacement I have ever had on the car since 2011 so I am willing to pay extra if it lasts 10 years!
wiper blades wear out when in hot summer, dry winter, sunlight, freezing temperature. So it is the failure of rubber fillers rather than the frame. Many wiper blade manufacturers share the same rubber filler suppliers. I got cheap wiper blades from home depot, they are still working. In the video I showed some extra parts that came with the package, those extra parts were not used, they pack those parts to fit different car model/makes. They do this to have higher volume purchase, higher volume means lower overall prices.
2:42. There may or may not be a flap. Most simple is, that the j-hook comes so close to the blade opening, that can not detach.

What kind of car is the white one with windshield wipers on the bottom left and right corners?
the white car is a Dodge Caravan.
thanks
You're welcome!

I have an old Caprice Classic that does not have a pin style and it's driving me crazy tying to pull the old ones off. It's not the J-hook style. The wiper can spin freely 360°.
Yes, some older cars did not design with friendly services in mind, such as clip-on or tab on etc. So you may have to use screwdrivers or pliers to pry it open. Please follow up on how you resolved the problems. Your final follow up may benefit many other viewers. thank you for taking the time to leave comments.
steel is softer than glass. you can not scratch glass with steel. however, the soft rubber blade DOES scratch the glass. this is because, when you drive, there is inevitably sand dust in the air. SiO2 is very hard material, it gets stuck on the wipers, and as the wipers move, they scratch the galss surface, and produce the well known rainbows on the glass surface. i always wipe off my rubber blades frequently sometimes.
thank you for taking the time to chime in and to share your tips. I am grateful for viewers' support and help to other viewers
我的平治 用了這種便宜的水撥 很好用DriveTec PREMIUM WIPER BLADE is a very cheap
2:40 my clip is not clipping its perfect size tho the wiper 22’ & 14’ both are not clipping what should j do ?
what do you mean "not clipping"? Did you mean you don't have the tabs?
@@GeniusAsian its done now took a liitle time but i got it right 👍🏻👍🏻🤗
@@shlokgala1627 thank you for taking the time to follow up.
👍
I prefer to use something like a mousepad underneath the bare wiper arm instead of a cloth. we use them at advance auto parts (although they're bigger as they're made for wiper replacements, but they're pretty much just big ass mousepads) and they not only grip better but if you lose grip of the wiper arm and it snaps back down and smacks the windshield, you won't be left with a chipped, cracked, or smashed windshield.
Thank you for taking the time to share your tips, your comments will help other viewers.
these need to be regulated to al follow the simplest design, all of them.
yeah okay it has been day 3 now and I still cant change my pontiac g6 08 wipers its a flat not a hook I got a napa replacement universal
non-hook type usually have two tabs on each size, and may be some kind of cap on the top.
The front ones were easy, but the rear one doesn't want to come off.
Best video on this otherwise very annoying and very complicated endeavor. Thanks for all your efforts to make a video that demonstrates removal as well as installation on ALL the [stupid] variations.
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback, it would help other viewers
what about pinch tab
pinch tab design is shown at this time: czcams.com/video/yeTBwjer7Lo/video.html
Like 👍
thank you for your likes and positive feedback.
Figures mine isn't shown
what kind do you have?
J hook is king
yes, J-hook type is the most common type.
@@GeniusAsian yes i work in an auto parts store and if u dont know how to uninstall a j hook please dont drive a car lmfao
@@guitarist4life1993 most people don't what what is a J hook, so we need to educate them
We get ripped off in New Zealand so badly for wiper blades and refills.
What happened in New Zealand, any details?
Thank you very much for saving my ass
Glad it was helpful. Thank you for taking the time to share your success, this will help other viewers.
DriveTec PREMIUM WIPER BLADE is a very cheap
Title should be called "jay hook"
if you google "jay hook" only J hook returned. J hook is the most common, but there are other non-J-hook types of wiper blades shown in this video.
This video did not help me at all. I have a 1988 Mitsubishi Delica 4WD L300 Starwagon. The wiper blade assembly has a pin that goes into a hole on the wiper arm. If anyone can help me find a replacement wiper blade assembly with the pin, I will give them $100. Guaranteed.
Fuck my life, i cannot find my type of wipers anywhere! Not even when i type in my car.. I must have aftermarked wipers and wiperarm, but still no fucking way to find a tutorial anywhere..
you could try to buy the filler without changing the blades.
"Under 30 seconds"
*makes 11 min 19 second video*
This video discussed 9 different types of designs, covering the popular types. If we have to show 30 different types, then it would take longer. If you did not watch our video and break the wiper arm, it would cost you more money and time.
Nice try, no luck :(
what happened? Is your kind of wiper blades not described in this video?
@@GeniusAsian Bosch Envision replacement blade offers multiple attachments, the attachment it came w was major pain to remove- but i found a video that showed how- i went on to install the other attachment i needed so I’m good now, 🙏🏽
@@delg1211 yeah, the one I bought also had a few parts that were not used for my car, the worst part is that the instruction guide does not mention anything about the extra attachment. Thank you for taking the time to follow up, your comment will help other viewers.
The video should have been 31 seconds
Didnt help me a bit 5th video of bullshit
Enough with the damned introduction and get on with it!
sorry, I tried to compressed the 10 hours' video into a few minutes so that people can have a good understanding of different style and make.
No help
sorry about that, did you have problem removing wiper blades or installing new wiper blades? Or are you saying you have different types of wipers? I have checked a lot of instructions that came with the wiper blades, most instructions are not very detailed, not very useful to understand how they work. So you may need to examine both the new parts as well as the old parts first.
Thank you
