Hyundai Repair: Windshield Wiper Replacement, windshield wiper replacement, windshield wipers


Question
I have a 2004 Elantra, and am trying to replace both the driver side and passenger side windshield wipers.

Its probably very easy to do, but I am baffled how to get the arms off. There appears to be a retaining clip at the point of connection, but getting it into a release position is difficult. And once its in the release position, what do I do.

Websites I've consulted thus far don't adequately describe the process.

Thank you.

Answer
This is difficult to explain, so I'll try to do my best.  Lift the wiper arm off the windshield so it's standing up.  The arm has a U-shaped hook at the end.  The blade has a plastic clip that attaches in the U.  There should be a release tab on the plastic clip.  Move the release tab toward the center of the U, and than push the blade to move the clip out of the U.  You should then be able to slip the blade off the arm through the hole in the blade.
