Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Wiper Arm: Gently lift the rear wiper arm away from the glass until it locks into an upright position. If your wiper arm has a cover at the base, carefully remove it by spreading both sides of the plastic and lifting it off.
2. Remove the Old Blade: Locate the attachment point where the old wiper blade connects to the arm. Depending on the design, you may need to press a tab or squeeze clips to release the blade. Slide the old blade off the arm.
3. Attach the New Blade: Align the new Bosch H300 wiper blade with the wiper arm. Push the blade onto the arm end until the cross pin in the center of the blade snaps securely onto the arm. Ensure it is firmly attached.
4. Secure the Wiper Arm: Gently lower the wiper arm back onto the rear windshield. If a cover was removed, reinstall it at the bottom of the wiper arm.
5. Test Operation: Before driving, activate your rear wiper to ensure it operates smoothly and clears the windshield effectively.
