2004 wiper blade removal???

[Dartastic]

I know this has to be one of the most bone headed questions but its too cold out for me to mess around with it not knowing what Im doing. How do I remove the wiper blades from my 2004 LS? Just bought a new set of bosch wiper blades even though I heard somewhere stock was best. I aint paying stock prices for no wiper blades. BTW stay away from Tirico brand. Thats whats on there now and at 40k miles they are completely worn and tearing.

It's been awhile, but, IIRC, you lift up the wiper arm, turn the blade perpendicular to the arm, and pull back towards the arm until the plastic mounting block comes out of the U at the end of the arm. There may be a tab that you need to press to release it, but I think it's just a friction fit.

40K not bad for wiper blades. I change mine once a year!

I bought the LS used with about 16k or 19k on it. Wiper blades on now are not OEM so this is at least the third
set.

BTW thanks Sooner. Its a friction thing. Bosch blades made all the difference in the world.

turn wipers on, when they are up at the top turn the key off. the pull the arm back. there IS a tab that you need to release with a flat head screwdriver. Then pull DOWN on the blade.

I've got some Bosh blades and they suck, put some rainx on my sisters car and they're way better.
