Make sure you install the correct blade on the corresponding wiper arm (sometimes the wipers are different lengths).<\/li><li>Raise the arm slated to receive its new wiper blade. Look for the hinge on the blade and move it until the hinge assumes a position perpendicular to the rest of the part.<\/li><li>Align the blade with the wiper arm and guide the arm&rsquo;s hook inside the blade&rsquo;s hole. Now, pull the wiper blade up and keep at it until you hear the click of the arm&rsquo;s hook locking onto the blade. <\/li><li>Lower the windshield wiper to its resting position.

Pour wiper fluid over the windshield and run both wipers. They shouldn&rsquo;t leave any marks as they brush the fluid off the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, new windshield wipers can leave streaks on the glass. Soak a cloth in mineral spirits and use it to wipe the rubber insert&#8288;. You can also use alcohol wipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you still see streaks after cleaning the rubber inserts, check to see if you installed the correct blade on each wiper arm. Make sure that the wiper follows the correct orientation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Helpful Tips for Changing Wiper Blades<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To get a better idea of the process, watch the following video on how to change wiper blades:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to replace the Windshield Wipers Blades 2009-2014 Ford F150 &#128663;\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4jJzAn1JyJk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some wiper blade models have blades of different lengths to compensate for their position on the car.
