The following are instructions for installing Super Tech wipers on a J hook wiper arm. But you can apply the same basic concept to other types of wiper arms:
Lift the wiper arm, and then rotate the wiper blade so that it’s perpendicular to the wiper arm. Find the tabs or clips to release the old blade and pop it off. Then, slide the worn blade off the wiper arm.
To install the new blade, slide the new blade onto the arm. If needed, use the adaptor that comes with the new blade to attach it to the arm.
Listen for the sound of the blade clicking into place.
