I need to change my windshield wiper on the driver side of my car. The rubber is literally flapping in the breeze. It's snowing outside and I need to leave in a couple hours for about a 45 minute drive. It's snowing bad enough that I'm afraid that if it hits the windshield and melts quick enough, I won't be able to see.
So, here's the problem. I have a '91 Buick century. I bought an Anco wiper arm (plus the rubber), but looking at it now, I cant for the life of me figure out how to change it. It looks like it has a pin that has to be taken out before anything can be done, but I'm not sure. Anyone who has any suggestions/knows how to change this model, PLEASE let me know.How do I change my windshield wipers? URGENT!?
The pin stays with the wiper arm.. here's the trick.
Take a flathead screwdriver and pry it between the pin and old blade. Turn the screwdriver to pop of the old wiper from the pin. Then the new blade you just press it firmly on the pin and you're good to go.
If you look at your old blade, you'll see a small opening in the center of the metal with a bit of a spring on it, you can also push down with that screwdrvier on the spring,and with your thumb push the pin through the old blade at the same time.How do I change my windshield wipers? URGENT!?

It should be a hook type. there is a little tab that you depress and
it will slide out backwards. If you need reference, just look at the
passenger side. Hopefully, you are in a lot or service area where
someone might help you as well. You may want to start with that.
I know it's cold, but take your time and get it right or you will wind
up having your new blade fly off. AND DON'T LET THAT WIPER
ARM HIT THAT WINDSHIELD BY SPRINGING BACK. IT WILL BREAK.......!!!!!!!

If you are having a tough time, it might be worth the effort to take it to a quick lube shop. They will gladly change the wiper for you (at a premium part price) and you don't have to routinely use them for this sort of thing. I would consider it because you are in a hurry.How do I change my windshield wipers? URGENT!?
yes your right a bot the pin take it out, take off the whipper and replace it, if you are only changing the rubber their should be a staple type of thing on one side, Just slide it off and slide the new one on it not to hard.
