 Note

When the wiper arm is halfway folded out, it will stop in a locking position that helps prevent the arm from falling back onto the rear window. The wiper arm must be pulled past the locking position stop in order to change the wiper blade.

Check the blades regularly. Neglected maintenance shortens the life of the blades.
