Seeing you pop up the back cover was helpful - I didn't know it could do that, and it allowed me to lift the wiper blade away from the window, so I could remove the blade. Extremely simple, but not if you've never done it. Thanks.

I was struggling until I saw this video. After the first step, I didn’t need to see the rest of the video!!! Simple: thanks!!!!

Owner for 7 years, never realized that clip swung up... Never used the wiper so i didnt care, but could not figure it out when i had tried one day. So simple....

[@msmeowmeow5107]

Thank you! Changed my first wiper with your help! 😊

[@TomahawkDIY]

[@pummpie1]

[@RobertColburn]

Ah, Back Cover! Thanks so much!

[@morganpeace6867]

[@brilof2112]

[@TomahawkDIY]

Glad I could help!

Thanks Mike!

ty it worked

I bought a new rear wiper blade for my 2009 Vibe. I just took the old one off and tried to put the new one on. After watching this video, I still can't get the new wiper blade on, and I destroyed the new blade trying to figure it out. Going to let the auto repair place do it. I can change tires, battery, serpentine belts and pulleys, put a new starter and alternators on tractors, changed a fuel line. But for the life of me, I just cannot do wiper blades......ever.

Thank you very much

[@dabcorn]

I don't know how much those cost where you are at, but, I found it much cheaper to buy a 24" blade, cut the rubber in two, and make 2 blade inserts for my vibe.

[@TomahawkDIY]

That's good to know

[@lilsavage3354]

Thanks so much. I thought it was gonna be harder than that. Saves me so much time & aggravation :-)

[@douglasbolland171]

Yep... thanks..... first time ten years

[@rafaelverastegui7611]

[@TomahawkDIY]

[@halftontiger2836]

Thanks so much for this! It was a lifesaver!

How do I turn the back wipers on

[@josearmando9889]

Where is the button to activate the back Windshield wiper

[@aandc9800]

End of the right knob opposite of the turn signal knob on the steering wheel

[@r.t.7925]

There is a small tab on the back you need to push to release the wiper.

[@mattymattffs]

Great info. This video is three minutes longer than it needs to be though

[@jessemartinez6601]

That is not the way to do it actually you go to Walmart buy the proper size which is 11 in replace the whole arm for $8 why go through so much trouble

[@Tinto4]

You've got to be kidding me. That looks like a pain.

"Just a little bit of pressure"
Mine snapped. Thanks for nothing.

[@stclairstclair]

Daniel Hesse, I just did mine, These are nylon parts, you should have taken your time, also depending on the age it might have been becoming brittle, Today's cars are made with cheap ship plastic That's the real issue.

[@CharlieMikeNS]

@@stclairstclair I did take my time... What, did you think I just ripped it of and snapped it like a twig?

[@stclairstclair]

Daniel Hesse , No actually I even said it could be aging and not as pliable as new, Your defensiveness is telling, What's going on.
