How To Change the Wiper Blades on a 2006-2011 Toyota Camry

Windshield wiper blades are one of the most important safety features on your Toyota Camry, and your first line of defense when precipitation impairs driving visibility. Making sure your Camry has quality wiper blades that aren’t streaking, squeaking or rattling, and replacing them when they do start to wear out, will help keep your windshield clean and your vision clear. Wiper blades that are functioning the way they should be will keep your windshield free from rain, snow, and debris, and help keep you safe on the road. Replacing defective wiper blades is an easy DIY maintenance task that can be completed in no time with the right replacement blades and instructions.

Step-By-Step Instructions to Replace Wipers on Your Camry

These step-by-step instructions can help you replace your Toyota Camry’s windshield wiper blades. Before removing and replacing your wiper blades, make sure to check your owners manual for details specific to your vehicle. Since wiper blades that are in use tend to wear at about the same rate, it’s always recommended you change them in pairs.


Step 1: Lift the Wiper Arm

Step 1: Lift the Wiper Arm

Lift the wiper arm on the side you want to change first so that it stands vertically. Be careful not to let the wiper arm swing down into the windshield at any time during the process. This can damage your windshield.
Step 2: Detach the Old Blade

Step 2: Detach the Old Blade

With the wiper arm up, look for a tab on the blade near the hinge where it attaches to the arm. Pushing the tab in will allow the blade to be released so you can slip it out of the hook at the end of the arm.
Step 3: Install the New Blade

Step 3: Install the New Blade

Remove the sheath protecting the rubber on your new blade, and select the appropriate adapter for your wiper arm. Move your new blade into position, and slide the clip on the blade into the hook of the wiper arm. You should hear it snap into place.
Step 4: Carefully Lower the Blade

Once the blade is secure in the wiper arm, lower it slowly and carefully back down into contact with the windshield.
Step 5: Repeat on the Other Side

Step 5: Repeat on the Other Side
