Peel off some painter's tape. Lay it down against the edge of the wiper blade so we have a reference for where it needs to go back to.

Lift up on the wiper arm. Pull out on the tab, and lift the arm off of its spline. These aren't keyed, so it may take a couple of tries to line it back up on the way on—but at least we know where we have to line our wiper up to. Pull out on the tab.

Slide the arm back onto the splines. Carefully lower the arm back on. We're lined up with our tape, so we can remove this. If necessary we can repeat these same steps on the passenger side.

Thanks for tuning in. We hope this video helped you out. Next time you need parts for your car, please visit 1AAuto.com. Also check out our other helpful how-to and diagnosis videos.
