How to Replace the Windshield Wipers on a 4Runner
- 1). Purchase new windshield wipers. At an automotive store, provide the year of your Toyota 4Runner and ask for the proper size of windshield wipers.
- 2). Flip each windshield wiper up off the windshield to the 90-degree angle on the windshield wiper hinge.
- 3). Locate the hook slot connector on the windshield wiper arm connected to the middle of the windshield wiper. There will be a latch that has spring tension that keeps the windshield wiper in place.
- 4). Grip firmly the windshield wiper in the center with the pliers. Pull out on the windshield wiper to free it from the spring tension hook slot connector. Do this to both windshield wipers.
- 5). Center the new windshield wiper over the spring tension hook slot connector on the windshield wiper arm. Squeeze the center of the windshield wiper against the connector on the windshield wiper arm with the pliers until it slides under the spring tension hook slot connector. Do this to both windshield wipers. Lay the windshield wipers flat against the windshield once the installation is complete.
