Mahalo mechanic expert Desmond Bryant teaches you how and where to buy new wiper blades using the make, model and year of your car.
Purchase Your Windshield Wipers
Go to your nearest auto repair facility and tell them the make, model and year of your car. They will tell you the type of blade to purchase.
There are three main types of windshield wiper blades: bayonet lock, slide lock and pin lock. The most universally-used is the slide lock blade.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NjR652Hi_c&feature=player_embedded#at=71
Remove Old Wiper Blades
Remove the old blade by pressing down on it until it snaps out of place. Slide it out of the rod that held it in place.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NjR652Hi_c&feature=player_embedded#at=71
Replace with New Wiper Blades
Reverse the process to attach the new blade, sliding it onto the rod and pushing up on it until it snaps into place.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NjR652Hi_c&feature=player_embedded#at=71

Bayonet and Pin Locks
A bayonet wiper has a lift and release mechanism. The wiper arm is unlocked and slid off when the release is pressed.
A pin wiper has an attachment that enables it to lock into the side pin of the windshield at a right angle. Press the spring lock and pull the wiper blade away from the wiper arm.http://www.howtodothings.com/automotive/a3196-how-to-replace-windshield-wipers.html
