Ford XS4Z-17528-AA Wiper Blade Assembly

The windshield wiper and blade assembly should be inspected periodically.

Simply squeeze the end of the element with needle nose pliers and withdraw the blade.

If inspection reveals hardened or cracked rubber, replace the wiper blades.

Insert a screwdriver blade between the wiper blade and element, twist the screwdriver clockwise while pressing in and down to separate the element from the end retaining claw, slide the element out of the remaining retaining claws, and slide a new element into place. Ensure that the new element is securely attached by pressing it firmly into the retaining claws until you hear a click. Finally, test the wiper to confirm that it operates smoothly and effectively.
