How to remove wiper blades

Not the rubber blades, but the actual blade that costs 20 bucks. i can't seem to figure it out. I know it clips on and off, but i'm stuck so to where and how.

Lol, I feel you man. When I had my 85 camaro, I sat outside in the rain for 20 minutes trying to get the wiper blades off. Some of them are a pain in the ass

Pointing left or right? What do you mean? Can you provide pictures to describe what you're talking about? Don't mind the e-hate from others, most of us are here to help

I got it. But the OEM rubber inserts do not fit the wiper blades. They are the same size but different shape.

They look very similar to this.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but those are not original. They look like Rain-X Latittude or Goodyear blades. If you want to use OEM rubber inserts you have to purchase OEM wiper arms, they're about $10 at your local dealer.

I can't believe you would post that question on this forum. Maybe a basic class on auto maintenance would be in order?

I'm with Steve. Trolls make me sick. What's a troll? According to Urban dictionary:

forum troll:
Someone who gets pleasure by typing annoying/controversial/offensive words at strangers on internet forums, for them to read.

person 1:can someone tell me how to do this?

troll: you're stupid, i hope you're not as ugly as you are stupid, then you will have problems


You're all so fricking high-and-mighty when you can hide behind the cloak of the internet. I've been proud to be a part of this site for a while now. But not recently. Get over your holier-than-thou attitude and contribute something positive or shut the f*@! up!
