How to change wiper blades?

[bobbycfc]

I have bought the genuine replacement wipers for my Altea. There are 2 small "push-in" bits but other than that, I can't seem to work out how to get one wiper off and the other on!!

No doubt its dead simple, anyone care to tell me how??

Hi ... already tried the google hits on "aerotwin instruction"?

For instance => http://www.auto-technologie.de/Eurosol/e/montage_flat.html

Just done ours yesterday...

Set to service position (Ignition on then off, then flick wiper stalk)
Press in and hold the two tabs on the wiper to arm connector
Rotate the blade away from the metal wiper arm just a small amount to free the connector
The arm should move out of the connector a little.
Now pull it clear.
Refitting is a reverse of the above.

Cheers for that, I will give that a try tomorrow. When I was pinching the two tabs, the blade still didn't seem to want to move in any position and I didn't want to force it one way or the other.

just done mine, but the new ones didn't seem to fix in place (the tabs didn't click)
anyone else's like that?
