Cadillac catera 2001 User Manual

Windshield wiper blades should be inspected at least twice
a year for wear or cracking. See “Wiper Blade Check” in
the Maintenance Schedule booklet under Part B “Owner
Checks and Services” for more information.

It’s a good idea to clean or replace the wiper blade
assembly on a regular basis or when worn. For proper
windshield wiper blade type, see “Normal Maintenance
Replacement Parts” later in this section.

To replace the wiper blade assembly:

1. Pull the windshield wiper assembly away from 

the windshield.

2. Lift the wiper blade assembly up so it is in a “T”

shaped position. You should be able to see a tab.

3. Squeeze the tab together and pull the wiper blade

assembly down enough to release it from the “J”
hooked end of the wiper arm. Slide the assembly
away from the arm.

4. Replace the blade.

5. To reinstall the wiper blade assembly, slide it over

the wiper arm to engage the “J” hooked end on the
wiper blade assembly. Pull up on the assembly to
lock it into place.
