Windshield wiper broken

[deand]

Hey guys. I have Toyota Yaris, 2006 model. The windshield wiper of my car is broken. I want to know if I can fix it or it is really necessary to replace it!

Yes you can replace it. Well don’t keep the broken wiper on the car as it may scratch the windshield. Before replacing the wiper blade, check the size of wiper blade first. It must be mention in your car manual. Buy the new blades of same configuration. Now to remove the old wiper blade, hold the wiper arm on your one hand and slide the wiper arm away from the windshield slowly without putting a scratch there. It’s a metal connector that you need to remove. So slide away to the direction of the blade and remove it slowly. After removing it, take a new one and connect in the same way to you disconnected it. Doing this whole thing, just remember to do it calmly, as the connector is metal and the windshield is glass. One sudden hit and it may crack the windshield.

Nice dude. Thanks for explaining. Even I was searching a post to remove the wiper blades. It looks really simple, let me try once. Also, is it possible for you to uphold the picture of the connector, how it looks!
