Replacing your wiper arms is necessary if you have experienced windshield streaks even after replacing your wiper blades. Furthermore, it's a good idea to replace your wiper arms if they have been exposed to harsh weather for a significant amount of time. This guide will take you step by step through the process of removing your wiper arm and replacing it with a new one.

    • While holding the lower end of the wiper arm, tug the wiper arm upwards until completely detached.

    • Have your new wiper arm extended in the upward position (just how your old wiper arm was extended at the end of Step 4).

    • Once the wiper arm has been placed onto the metal threading, firmly grip the lower end of the wiper arm.

    • Slowly push the wiper arm downwards and away from you, so that it's flat with the windshield.

    • Make sure to do this slowly so that your fingers are not compressed by the wiper arm and the windshield.
