IMPORTANT: Make sure the wiper arm does not contact the windscreen without its wiper blade.
NOTE: In the event of a customer complaint  regarding the cleaning or wiping performance or noise build-up (juddering, squeaking noise) by the wiper blades, proceed as follows: First check  whether the complaint is caused by dirt (preservation wax on new vehicles, resins or other environmental influences) on the windscreen; if necessary, clean the windscreen thoroughly!  Replace the wiper blades only if cleaning the windscreen fails to remedy the situation.

Fold wiper arm (1) away from windscreen.

Press lock (2) and remove wiper blade (3) in direction of arrow.
