NOTE: The notched end of the wiper element flexor should always be oriented towards the end of the wiper blade that is nearest to the wiper pivot.

1. Lift the front wiper arm (2) off of the windshield glass, until the wiper arm hinge is in its over-center position.

2. Position the front wiper blade near the hook formation (5) on the tip of the arm with the notched end of the wiper element flexor oriented towards the end of the wiper arm that is nearest to the wiper pivot.

3. Insert the hook formation on the tip of the wiper arm through the opening in the wiper blade superstructure (1) ahead of the wiper blade pivot block/latch unit far enough to engage the pivot block (3) into the hook.

4. Slide the wiper blade pivot block/latch up into the hook formation on the tip of the wiper arm until the latch release tab (4) snaps into its locked position. Latch engagement will be accompanied by an audible click.

5. Gently lower the wiper blade onto the glass.
