Honda HR-V: Checking and Maintaining Wiper Blades

Checking Wiper Blades

If the wiper blade rubber has deteriorated, it will leave streaks and the hard surfaces of the blade may scratch the window glass.

Changing the Front Wiper Blade Rubber

1. Lift the driver side wiper arm first, then the passenger side.

2. Press and hold the tab, then slide the blade from the wiper arm.

NOTICE

Avoid dropping the wiper arm; it may damage the windshield.

3. Slide the wiper blade out from its holder by pulling the tabbed end out.

4. Slide the new wiper blade onto the holder from the bottom end.

• The tab on the blade should fit in the indent of the top of the wiper holder.

5. Slide the wiper blade onto the wiper arm securely.

6. Lower the passenger side wiper arm first, then the driver side.

Changing the Rear Wiper Blade Rubber

1. Raise the wiper arm off.

2. Pivot up the bottom end of the wiper blade until it comes off from the wiper arm.

3. Slide the wiper blade out from the end with the indent.

NOTICE

Avoid dropping the wiper arm; it may damage the rear window.

4. Remove the retainers from the rubber blade that has been removed, and mount to a new rubber blade.

5. Slide the wiper blade onto the holder.

• Make sure it is engaged correctly, then install the wiper blade assembly onto the wiper arm.
