Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps carefully

Match the blades to your Avenger

24 in driver, 22 in passenger — same all years. Both arms: 9×3mm J-hooks. Chart disagrees? Tape old blades tip-to-tip; correct blades sweep edge to edge without clouting the A-pillar.

Park up and switch everything off

Park level, Park gear, ignition fully off — a stray stalk bump mid-job is the quickest way to get hurt. No service position; arms park low and swing free. Wipe the glass with cleaner — fresh rubber on grit streaks from day one.

🔧 Mechanic's note — Tom Becker

I've found that ignition fully off, not accessory — one bump of the washer stalk with your fingers under the arm and you'll never forget it.

Raise the arms and pad the glass

Pull each arm up until it stands — they snap back hard. Slide a folded towel under each arm as insurance against slipped grips. One blade at a time; both arms up together tangle and knock.

Unhook the old blades

Turn the blade perpendicular to the arm; press the release tab where the connector wraps the J-hook and slide straight down off the hook. Never twist or pry sideways — bending the steel hook is what makes new blades sit crooked.

🔧 Mechanic's note — Ray Delgado

I've learned that bent J-hooks are permanent — twist one sideways getting the old blade off and every future blade sits crooked. Straight down, always.

Click the new blades on

24 in driver, 22 in passenger — swapped leaves a blind gap in front of you. Thread the J-hook through the connector until it clicks firmly; tug to prove it's locked. Pivot the blade flat and square to the glass.

Lower the arms gently

Remove towels; guide each arm down by hand — never let one slap the glass. Check blades sit flat and square; crooked on the hook = pop off and reseat now. Ten seconds at the curb beats discovering it at highway speed.

Test with the washer jet

Ignition on, run the washers for a wet sweep — one clean pass, no streaks or chatter. Squeaking passenger blade = not fully clicked; refit. Recheck both connectors after a day or two — vibration exposes half-seated blades.

All Done!

Test your repair before closing everything up. If something doesn't work right, double-check your steps.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Fitting the 24-inch blade on the passenger side and the 22-inch on the driver side
• Buying beam blades whose box lacks a J-hook adapter
• Testing the new blades on a dry, dusty windshield
• Prying the old blade sideways and bending the hook

Tools You'll Need

Glass cleaner and a soft cloth A folded towel to pad the windshield Measuring tape, to confirm blade length

⚠️ Safety First!

• Never let a bare wiper arm snap back onto the windshield — hold it or lay a folded towel under it
• Ignition off so the wipers cannot move while your fingers are under the arms
• Work on one arm at a time so the two arms cannot collide
