How to change whipper blade?

Hello all,
I believe it's not that hard to change the whipper blade so I am going to do it myself. I find one of the whipper can't be "pulled" standing up, I think it's the one on the passenger side. Anyhow can someone just help me how to do it? thanks

Hi!
I have also been confused with the situation, but it is easy.
Turn on the wiper switch first (intermittent position is enough) and turn the key two notches to position II just before you start the engine.
The wipers start and once they are 10 - 15 inches from the original position, cut the key off.

The wipers stay on the middle of the windshield and now you can pull the wiper of the passenger side.
After you have changed the blade, just turn the key to position II and wipers come to the original position automatically.

Do not forget to pull back the wipers onto windshield after changing the blades as moving wipers on "pulled" position may hurt them.

As I am not native speaker, my explanation may not be comprehensive, please be patient.:p

Not only was your explanation technically correct, I'd like to point out that you speak better English than most people I deal with on a day-to-day basis.

Thank you for the message. It is a fun to exchange information with friends in the USA. If I did buy Toyota Crown Athlete not TL, In could never have this kind of great opportunity!
For me, TL is more than only a great vehicle.

Today I am driving to my home town that is 400 miles away from my place to see my parent. Using bullet train, it is only 2 hours 30 minutes ride as the train goes with max. 275km/h or 170 mph. But I like to go with my TL although the highway allows me only 100km/h and I have to pay approx. US$80 for one way toll.

$80 toll??? Why so expensive? Luckily, tolls here are much less expensive.

Well, all of highways in Japan are toll roads. In Tokyo, there is a complicated city highway network up in the air or underground. The toll is US$6.00 one time.

I think that Japan is the most expensive country when we talk about the toll.
