Chevrolet Silverado: Vehicle Checks / Wiper Blade Replacement

Windshield wiper blades should be replaced periodically. See Maintenance Schedule.

Replacement blades come in different types and are removed in different ways. For proper type and length, see Maintenance Replacement Parts.

Caution

Allowing the wiper arm to touch the windshield when no wiper blade is installed could damage the windshield. Any damage that occurs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not allow the wiper arm to touch the windshield.
