     Press the clip in as you simultaneously pull the old wiper blade off the wiper arm. You may discard the old blade.

     Align the new wiper blade with the wiper arm track. Slide it along the track until you hear a "click."

     Repeat this process with the other wiper blade to complete the replacement of wiper blades on your Toyota Highlander.

Tips & Warnings

• Some people like to press the clip in on the wiper arm using a screwdriver.

• Many Toyota models, including the Highlander have different sized blades on the passenger and driver side. Make sure you align the correct blade during installation.

• You can test your newly installed wiper blades by turning the battery of your car engine on and pressing the washer fluid button. The washer fluid will flood the windshield followed by several swipes from your new blades. If the windshield is streak free and clean, then they've been properly installed.
