61 61 041 Replacing both windscreen wiper blades

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.

Fold wiper arm (1) away from windscreen.

Turn windscreen wiper blade (2) at an angle of 90 ° and remove from windscreen wiper arm (1).
