The rear windshield wiper is one of the easily worn-out parts on our vehicles. For vehicles that are often parked outdoors, the rear windshield wiper is even more prone to aging and failing due to long-term exposure to the elements and frequent debris like bird droppings, flowers, and fruits on the windshield. In rainy conditions, an ineffective rear wiper can negatively impact driving safety. So, how do you install a rear windshield wiper? It's easy to get the hang of it.
1. Before installation, purchase a rear windshield wiper that fits your vehicle model. You can easily find the appropriate one by searching for your vehicle model online.
2. To install the rear windshield wiper, first remove the old one. Lift the wiper, remove the cap, and locate the clip under the wiper. Gently press it, and the old wiper blade will come off. Be careful during the removal process to avoid letting the arm snap back, which could break the windshield.
3. In the third step, slightly lift the clip on the arm and insert the new Bosoko rear windshield wiper into the clip. When you hear a "click" sound, it means the wiper is in place. Then, replace the cap and gently place the wiper back onto the windshield.
How to choose the right rear windshield wiper. There are frameless and framed types. Frameless wipers are more flexible, adhere better to the windshield, and wipe more cleanly, but they are relatively more expensive. Framed wipers, on the other hand, are cheaper but less effective. Note that when installing a frameless wiper, the two steel strips inside should not be bent, as deformation can prevent the wiper from properly wiping the rainwater.
The caps on both ends of Bosoko's rear windshield wipers are generally tight and not easy to remove. If you encounter this, you can directly cut and shred the old blade, making it easier to remove.
It is important to note that some vehicle models have different lengths for the driver's side and passenger side rear windshield wipers. Typically, the driver's side wiper is longer. Pay attention to the correct order and position when removing and installing to avoid installing them incorrectly. Also, make sure to check the direction when installing the passenger side wiper.
