Yay, thank you for answering about those extra parts LOL. I was scratching my head wondering where they went haha. I officially changed my own wipers for the first time! Woo me.
Thank you for these instructions! I appreciate the towel warning. Your tip to listen for the snaps was very helpful. I was able to remove and replace my wipers thanks to your video!
Once I was driving on the highway just after replacing my blades, and one of my brand new blades flew off of my windshield at 60 mph. It happened because when I installed it, I didn't want to break anything by pushing too hard, and I didn't "listen for the snap". 🙃 Nice video.
Just coming on here to thank you for this video. We were at the same spot as Sherry. We didn't know we should pull those two sides outward. After that everything went smooth. All ready to go. Thank you again!
Thanks! I had to use a pair of needle nose pliers (while wearing leather gloves) to release a clip in the old wiper before it would come off the J hook. New one snapped on easily like in your video.
Thank you for the video. I purchased the blades at Costco some time back and installed them per your video. The new blades I just purchased do not have the plastic cover, so the metal "j" arm stays exposed. I tried using the clip that came in the box but there no way to snap it into place. I have a 2018 Sienna. I also purchased for my Nissan truck with J arm also and the same thing happened- no clip to cover the top part of the arm. I don't know if this is a new design or parts are missing in all four blades. Any input?
Nice video! For my Subaru Forester I need a 26 inch on the driver's side and a 17 inch on the passenger's side. Are the wipers specific to one side or the other or will a 26 inch size work on either the driver's side or passenger's side?
I believe they are specific to one side or the other. Check your car's handbook regarding wiper blade replacements. If you have lost it, find it on line. Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much. Was having the hardest time figuring out if the extra parts were needed but your video helped so much especially because you explained how to put it on step by step. Thank you Thank you and have a great day.
I bought in costco michelin wiper blades, they look different from what you show. Still have to figure out how to install them. Thanks for the video though.
You are welcome. They seem to change the outside plastic each year, I believe they want people to think it is "new and improved." Chances are you have a "J" hook design and your biggest problem will be to break it loose. It usually takes a lot of pulling and wiggling before it lets go. Goo luck!
Thanks for many helpful bits, like you may have to pull hard, ‘cause I was afraid of breaking something! But when you say "just open this flap…”. I have the identical new Michelin wiper blade, but that flap doesn’t lift up in either direction to save your mother and no round part gets exposed. What about these problems that might happen when it doesn’t all go so simply? These help videos always assume everything goes as it should - in which case I wouldn’t need any damn video! How about a sequel for when this and that doesn’t go so easily??
Sorry you are having such a tough time. At least you did not break your windshield like I did on my first video. Take a look at the ending to my other video, it is more realistic. th-cam.com/video/LYDlcew2NoM/w-d-xo.html

You're so welcome! Every time you do something yourself you gain confidence, good work!

You are so welcome! It makes me feel good to be able to help someone. Have a great summer!
Thank you for being the only person to say protect your window with a towel. Nice video
Thank you! I figured I should mention protecting the windshield after I broke my own windshield during an earlier attempt to replace my blades!
Great Instructions - also the add on how to remove old wiper blades very helpful as well. Thank You !
Glad it helped! Safe driving.
My husband's been having trouble installing the right windshield. This has been tremendously helpful. Excellent video as always 😊
Great to hear! Have a beautiful Spring. Here in California we have had so much rain everything is turning green.
sounds like you need a new husband
@@MikeZak101 Lmao! 😂
Nice job, easy and clear instructions. Well Done, Sir!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for the complement.
Thank You! George for the install.
You are welcome! Drive safely.

Info well received. Much thanks from the Caribbean
Thank you! When I think of the Caribbean I think of Harry Belafonte and I miss him already. Safe driving!
Thanks! I had to use a pair of needle nose pliers (while wearing leather gloves) to release a clip in the old wiper before it would come off the J hook. New one snapped on easily like in your video.
Great tip! The old ones just don't want to let go easily. Thank you for your gratitude.
I had a difficult time removing the old ones too. I used a screwdriver to push the clip.

I would guess that this is their new design. With less plastic are they trying to save money?
Excellent! Thank you for taking the time!
My pleasure! Drive safely Mike.
THIS VIDEO IS MUCH BETTER Than your other one
Thank you
Thank you, it would be nice to mention that some cars need 2 different size wipers.
Great point!

Thank you for taking the time to give such an incouraging comment. Now drive safely!

@@gfotinakes316 Thank you :) I will ask someone to do this - sincerely tried and could not do this thing.
Great Video Mr. Fotinakes! I appreciated it very much!. Im tire of paying $30-$35 or more to get them install.
Glad to help. Doesn't it feel good to do things yourself? Keep it up Cesar!
Easiest video to understand thank you
You are welcome! Thank you for taking time to comment. Have a great Christmas
Very well explained thank you
You are welcome, safe driving!
Stellar video, thank you for the help
Wow! What a nice complement. Have a great 2024!
How about replacing the rear windshield wiper
I looked at Costco and they did not have the small rear blade. I need to find a source because my rear blade is 11 years old and shot!
I tried them but they didn't last very long. Now I'm using PIAA silicone wipers. They are double the price but last 4 times as long.
I usually get about 2 years out of mine in the "Ozone rich" Souther Californian basin. (Ozone cracks rubber)
Thank you! Why is something so simple if you don’t have a couple of basic tips? Bless you 🙏🏼💙
You are so welcome! I am glad I could help. Blessings to you and yours.
How did you open the flap? Mine doesn't do it.
Sherry, I pulled the two sides of the flap outward and it let loose and openned. I hope this helps.
70 mph wind?? Lucky mine haven't gone flying off on my daily commute!
🤣
Wow! You must be really excited about getting to work each day going 70mph+ all the way!
@@gfotinakes316 😬 Too many exclamation points?
I guess I let myself get carried away 😝
Thank you, this helped
Glad it helped, have a wonderful holiday season!

You're #1
Thank you! Drive safely and have a wonderful holiday season.
Towel or even your hat! lol
You can see how easy it is to forget this safety measure. I did while I was talking about it!
