automotive "how-to" guide was specifically written to assist owners
of the second generation (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 & 2016) GM Chevy Equinox
in replacing the rear windshield wiper blade.

 Base Of Cover Removed |
 Slide To Left - Remove |
| The first step is
to lift up the black plastic wiper blade cover at the base of the arm. Slide the cover to the left (driver side) to disengage the hook on the underside of the cover. Set the cover aside in a safe place. |
|
 Press Release Tab |
 Pull Blade Off To Right |
| Press the release
tab at the center of the wiper blade and pull the blade off the metal hook
by sliding it to the right. Don't let the metal wiper blade arm slap against the glass to avoid having it cause a crack, chip or scratch. I recommend buying the Bosch 13-CA rear wiper blade since it has great reviews on Amazon. |

 Don't Let Arm Hit Glass |
 Slide On New Wiper Blade |
| Orientate the new
wiper blade with the rubber facing the glass and the release tab at the
center facing the right side. Slide the new wiper blade on to the metal hook at the end of the wiper arm. Pull the wiper blade to the left to engage the retaining clip and lock the blade in place. You should hear a faint "click" when the clip is secure. |

 Hook - Underside of Cover |

plastic wiper arm cover with the hook on the underside at the hole in the
new wiper blade. Insert the hook and slide the cover to the right to lock it in place. |
|
 Push Down Wiper Cover |
 Wiper Blade Replaced |
| Push the base of
the wiper arm cover down to secure it in place. Double check that the cover
