   Ashamed to be asking this, I've already searched the forums.
   
   Bought some universal wipers off of ebay, can't work out how to get the old ones (that are shot) off of the front. Worried about snapping something.
   
   Thanks guys

   They just slide out?
   
   Only thing you would break would be the plastic but you replace that anyway when you put the new wiper in.. Unless you go in like a bull in a china shop and bend and twist.

   pull the wiper arm up, flip the wiper blade upside down and push downwards on the balde where it clips in (may have to push the little clip in) and viola!.. and reverse order putting it back on
