    How to replace windscreen wiper blades in my 2012 Holden Cruze?

    Holden Holden Advice Holden Cruze Holden Cruze Advice Holden Cruze 2012

    I have a problem with the replacement of windscreen wiper blades in my 2012 Holden Cruze. I am trying to follow maintenance instructions but cannot remove the existing blades. I have the same problem on the left and right hand sides.

    This shouldn’t be a difficult job and it’s a good task to ease yourself into maintaining your own vehicle. The simplest way to do this is to replace the entire blade and spine assembly. This will cost more than replacing just the rubber blade, but is very easy with just one catch to unclip (where the blade pivots on the wiper arm) before the whole assembly can be removed and replaced. You can google tutorial videos on this take which take you through the whole process. It should take only a couple of minutes.

    If you’re really stumped by this, some parts stores offer a free fitting service for things like wiper blades. You may have to buy a new pair of blades to access this service, however. But if you watch the process and take note of how it works, you’ll be able to change your own blades in the future.
