Windshield wipers play a crucial role in ensuring clear visibility while driving, especially during rainy or snowy conditions. Over time, the rubber on wiper blades wears out, reducing their effectiveness. In this blog post, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of changing the windshield wipers on your Fiat Punto.

What You’ll Need

  • New windshield wiper blades
  • Flathead screwdriver (optional)

Step 1: Determine the Correct Blade Size

Before you purchase new wiper blades for your Fiat Punto, you need to determine the correct size. Most blades have the size printed on the rubber or the packaging itself. If not, consult your vehicle’s manual or measure the length of the existing blades.

Step 2: Lift the Wiper Arm

Start by lifting the wiper arm away from the windshield. Ensure it stays in the raised position before proceeding to the next step.

Step 3: Remove the Old Wiper Blade

Locate the small tab or release lever where the wiper arm connects to the blade. Press or lift this tab, depending on your wiper’s design, and gently slide the blade out of the hook or connector. If there is resistance, you can use a flathead screwdriver to help release the blade.

Step 4: Prepare the New Wiper Blade

Take your new wiper blade and unpack it if necessary. Some blades come with a protective sleeve or cover that should be removed before installation. Ensure the hook or connector on the blade is clean and free from debris.

Step 5: Attach the New Wiper Blade

Align the new blade’s hook or connector with the wiper arm. Insert it into the hook until you hear or feel it click into place. Give it a gentle tug to make sure it is secured properly.

Step 6: Lower the Wiper Arm

Carefully lower the wiper arm back onto the windshield. Be cautious not to let it snap down forcefully, as this could damage the arm or new blade.

Step 7: Repeat for the Other Side

Follow the same procedure to change the wiper blade on the other side of your Fiat Punto.

By following these simple steps, you can easily change the windshield wipers on your Fiat Punto. Remember to check your wiper blades regularly and replace them as soon as you notice any signs of wear or decreased efficiency. With properly functioning wiper blades, you can maintain clear visibility and drive safely in all weather conditions.
