Subaru Forester: Replacement of wiper blades / Rear window wiper blade rubber

- Pull out the end of the blade rubber
assembly to unlock it from the plastic
support.

- Pull the blade rubber assembly out of
the plastic support.

Metal spines
- If the new blade rubber is not provided
with two metal spines, remove the metal
spines from the old blade rubber and install
them in the new blade rubber.

- Align the claws of the plastic support
with the grooves in the blade rubber
assembly, then slide the blade rubber
assembly into place.

- Securely retain both ends of the rubber with the stoppers on the plastic
support
ends. If the rubber is not retained properly,
the wiper may scratch the rear window
glass.
- Install the wiper blade assembly to the
wiper arm. Make sure that it locks in place.
- Hold the wiper arm by hand and slowly
lower it in position.
WARNING
Before beginning work on or near
any battery, be sure to extinguish
all cigarettes, matches, and lighters.
Never expose a battery to an
open flame or electric sparks...
Other information:
When the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position, the instrument panel illumination,
headlights, parking lights, front side marker
lights, rear side marker lights, tail lights
and license plate lights are automatically
on or off depending on the level of the
ambient light...
The disc brakes have audible wear indicators
on the brake pads. If the brake
pads wear close to their service limit, the
wear indicator makes a very audible
scraping noise when the brake pedal is
applied.
If you hear this scraping noise each time
you apply the brake pedal, have the brake
pads serviced by your SUBARU dealer as
soon as possible...
