Steps
Buy the right AeroTwin set for your car. Check the length in millimetres for the driver and passenger sides, since they are often different, and confirm the arm fitting type.
Park on level ground and turn the ignition off. Pull the wiper arms up so the blades stand away from the windshield, and lay a towel on the glass under them.
Press the small release tab on the connector where the old blade meets the arm. Slide the blade down and off the hook, then set it aside.
Wipe the windshield along the swept area with glass cleaner and a cloth. Grit left on the glass can damage the new rubber edge.
Take the new AeroTwin blade and check the connector is set for your arm type. Some sets include an adapter you click on before fitting.
Slide the blade onto the hook until it seats fully, then push until the tab clicks into place. Tug it gently to confirm it is locked.
Repeat the same steps for the second blade, matching the correct length to each side.
Lower both arms slowly onto the glass by hand. Never let an arm snap down, as the bare metal can crack the windshield.
Turn the ignition on and run the wipers through one full cycle, then use the washer to check for streaks, chatter or missed patches.
Tips and common mistakes
Note which blade is longer before you remove anything so the driver side goes back on correctly.
Keep the towel under the arm the whole time in case the arm springs back.
If the new blade chatters, check the connector is fully clicked in before blaming the blade.
Replace both blades together, since worn pairs usually fail at about the same time.
Questions
How do I know which AeroTwin size fits my car?
Use the Bosch wiper size finder online or check your car handbook for the listed lengths. Match the length and the arm fitting type, not just the car model.
Do I need any tools?
No. AeroTwin blades clip on by hand, and the release tab is pressed with your fingers. A cloth and glass cleaner are the only extras worth having.
How often should I change wiper blades?
Most blades last around six to twelve months. Replace them sooner if they streak, squeak or leave gaps in heavy rain.
