I purchased Michelin wiper blades from Costco but haven’t put them on yet. Are they easy to install or should I have a professional do them?
I thought about returning them.
I welcome any tips.
Thanks

You can put them on yourself by pulling the wiper blade straight away from the arm end. Then just slide the new one on. You should have a total of 42" of blade. Put the longer of the two on the driver's side.

If you can't get the old one off, go to any auto parts store (like Auto Zone) and ask one of the folks behind the counter to help you. They can do it in five seconds as they do it all the time. No Charge either.

I use Auto Zone quite often but didn’t think of using them for something I didn’t purchase there. I always give them a well-deserved love offering, so thanks for the heads up.

They won't ask where you bought it. Just say "I'm having trouble getting my ww wipers on. Could you show me how?" You don't have to act guilty or blurt out "Say, Folks, I'm here to ask you to help me with some items I purchased somewhere else!" They don't consider it a big deal. They know that if you come to them for help with easy stuff, you'll be more likely to be a customer later when you want to buy stuff. I do.
