Toyota Yaris: Wiper Blades / Replacing Rear Window Wiper Blade (5-Door)

When the wiper no longer cleans well, the blade is probably worn or cracked.

Replace it.

1. Remove the cover.

   

2. Remove the stopper and raise the wiper arm.

   

3. Firmly rotate the wiper blade to the right until it unlocks, then remove the blade.

   

4. Pull down the blade rubber and slide it out of the blade holder.

   

5. Remove the metal stiffeners from the blade rubber and install them in the new blade.

   

6. Carefully insert the new blade rubber. Then install the blade assembly in the reverse order of removal.

   

NOTICE

• To prevent damage to the wiper arms and other components, do not try to sweep the wiper arm by hand.
• To prevent damage to the windshield let the wiper arm down easily, do not let it slap down on the windshield.
• To prevent damage to the rear window, do not let the wiper arm fall on it.
• Do not bend or discard the stiffeners. You need to use them again.
• If the metal stiffeners are switched, the blade’s wiping efficiency could be reduced.

  So don’t use the driver’s side metal stiffeners on the passenger’s side, or vice versa.

• Be sure to reinstall the metal stiffeners in the new blade rubber so that the curve is the same as it was in the old blade rubber.
• When raising both windshield wiper arms, raise the driver’s side wiper arm first. When lowering the wiper arms, slowly lower the wiper arm from the passenger’s side first while supporting it with your hand. Forcefully lowering the wiper arms could damage the wiper arm and blade, and may scratch or crack the windshield.
