Follow these steps carefully
Park the car, put it in Park, and switch the ignition fully off — with push-button start, keep the key fob away from the car so the auto wipers cannot trigger mid-job.
The C-Max parks its wipers right on the glass with no hidden service position to activate, so simply lift each front arm until the hinge holds it upright.
I verify the blade lengths before buying anything. The C-Max has specific sizes, and the wrong length will hit the trim.
The C-Max uses a pinch-tab connector, not a J-hook. Squeeze both tabs in at the same time with your thumb and forefinger, then slide the blade downward, off the arm's post.
The C-Max's tailgate carries a 12-inch rear blade that most owners ignore until it is shredding. Lift the short rear arm, find its connector, and release it the same way as the fronts.
Double-check the 28-inch blade is on the driver side and the 26-inch on the passenger side before you lower the arms. Slide the new blade's connector up onto the arm's post until both side tabs snap outward with an audible click.
Lower both arms gently onto the glass by hand. Switch the ignition on, spray the windshield washers, and run a full cycle. Twist the end of the stalk to run the rear washer and confirm the 12-inch blade clears its arc.
Replace all three blades every 6 to 12 months. If the driver blade starts streaking in your direct line of sight, do not wait out the calendar.
Test your repair before closing everything up. If something doesn't work right, double-check your steps.
