Replacing Wiper Blades
My 2000 convertible is in need of new windshield wiper blades. Can anyone tell me how to remove the old wiper blades? Will I need to replace only the blades or the blades & arm assembly? Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thank you,
O.L.

No need to replace the whole arm.
The section with the rubber strip and piece that holds it can be replaced for like $20..any auto store will have them AND CHANGE THEM FOR YOU FOR FREE.
if you really want to take them off yourself it's just a clip on stype connector. You're just basically pushing down a tab then sliding the assembly off of the wiper arm.
If you search for "wiper blade removal" on youtube you will find a ton of videos.
Here's a quick pic I found..

I replaced my blades with the Anco contours. They have no metal bars and almost streak free (as close as you can get) They are $15.00 a piece. They also have a built in spoiler to help hold them on the windshield. They work very nice for snow as well (put a set on the wife's blazer). They do cost more, but It's the only wiper blade for me as I mine is a daily (rain or shine) driver.

there are lots of choices in price ranges from $7-$24 each.
Walmart has a broad selection and groups them into performance categories.
Some are the traditional metal framed, others plastic framed and the latest self contour blades . There are also options on rubber and rain-x impregnated blades

Just replace the blades as stated.
I replaced mine with Bosch "Icon" blades. They are not cheap. I think I paid $22 each.
Follow the above pics and you will be able to change them in about 5 minutes.
Good Luck....
