Default How To Replace Windshield Wiper Inserts

I picked up just the inserts from Sewell Parts. But I can't find good instructions on replacing them anywhere. How do I remove the wiper unit from the clip without breaking it? Sorry if I missed this, but I thought this would be a quick job. Not in manual or online. Thanks CL for always coming through!

WOW ! I really don't know how. My dealer always replaces these for FREE for me every time I bring in my LS460 for service. He says it's simply part of the Lexus "Service With A Smile" program.

Sorry I could not be of more help.

Rolloman - How far are you from Sewell. I live in Carrollton, if you want to drive by here, I can help you. I just don't know how to explain it. Push or pull of a tab to release.

I take mine to the Toyota dealer and have them do it. They just charge me for the inserts and no labor...
