Steps
Park on level ground, turn off the engine and pull the wiper arms up away from the windshield until they stay upright.
Lay a towel on the glass under the arms. If an arm slips while the blade is off, the bare metal can crack the windshield.
Lift one arm, press the release tab on the old blade connector and slide the blade off the arm. Keep hold of the arm.
Compare the new blade with the old one. Check the length and connector type match before you fit it.
Slide the new blade onto the arm until it clicks into place. Pull it gently to make sure it is locked on.
Lower the arm slowly onto the glass. Do not let it snap down.
Repeat the same steps on the other wiper arm, then lower that arm slowly onto the glass.
Spray the windshield with washer fluid and run the wipers. Check for streaks, chatter or missed spots, then adjust or refit if needed.
Tips and common mistakes
Replace both blades at the same time so they wear evenly.
Clean the windshield with glass cleaner before fitting new blades; dirt can make them chatter.
Never bend or twist the wiper arm to force a blade on. If it does not click, check the connector type.
Lift the arm only as far as it needs to go, and keep a hand on it.
Questions
What size wiper blades does a 2017 Hyundai Elantra take?
Sizes can vary by trim, so check your owner's manual or the blade chart at the parts store. Many 2017 Elantras use a 26 inch driver blade and an 18 inch passenger blade.
How often should I replace wiper blades?
About every 6 to 12 months, or sooner if they streak, chatter or leave gaps.
Can I replace just one blade?
Yes, but fitting both at once keeps performance even and saves a second job later.
