61 61 021 Replacing left or right windscreen wiper blade

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 (scratching, squeaking) 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.

Take infrared remote key (ignition key).

Raise wiper arm (1) and fold back wiper blade (2).

Remove wiper blade (2) in direction of arrow from wiper arm (1).

Installation note: 

Make sure wiper blade (2) is guided.
