Broken wiper blade
I have a broken Volvo Wiper Blades and I recently purchased one.
Can anyone tell me how to replace the wiper blades that I have or do I really need to go to a car technician to replace this?

RE: Broken wiper blade
Hey gmorgan, this is a simple task. It only takes a minute or two for the single blade replacement. In order to explain it easier I will include a link to an AutoZone guide. http://www.autozone.com/az/cds/en_us...rInfoPages.htm
Look at the old wiper. You have the wiper arm, and then you have the wiper blade (same as the part you bought). On the wiper blade there is a release tab that has to get pressed in while sliding the blade out of the 'hook'. It should come off easily. You're half way done. Then take out the new wiper blade and align it the same as the other blade came off. Slide the tab into the hook. Lastly, pull on it (it might click once the release tab has seated) to be sure its secure.

Thanks a lot for this information. I'll try to look on that website you gave me!
