Wiper dunce

I'm having a problem changing the existing aero wiper blades. I can't work out how to remove the old ones. They have a 'tab' marked with an arrow, but I can't work out what to push and how hard to get them off. Any tips would be greatfully received.

Horrible things to change and really not helped by the wiper arm only moving a few inches off the screen Censored

From memory (poor memory) I gave it a little squirt off wd40 and then a case of pressing the tab and wiggling. Not sure if it locates in a tab on the arm so a small screwdriver was involved.

If you are replacing them then not so bad as fear of braking blade shouldn't matter but agree how could something so simple be so difficult Banging Head Banging Head

Hopefully someone else has some better advice for us both Thumbs Up

Thanks for the tips (and the video). I braved the cold yesterday and sorted it out. It was fairly straightforward and just required me to lift a tab (marked with an arrow) to release the clips. New Bosch blades were easy enough to fit.

Now, if anyone can think of a way to get rid of the yellow thing. . .

Just for reference, fitted these and they are excellent.
