This GIF by Ford Canada, shows you an important step in refilling your wiper fluid: Popping the top.

Once you’ve got the hood up and fastened in place, search for the cap with a windshield icon.

2. Funnel that fluid

Now that you’ve opened the windshield fluid cap, insert a funnel and pour in the washer fluid until it’s nearly at the top.

3. Close ‘er up

Close the cap once the fluid has sufficiently been topped up, and drop the hood back on down again.


To change your wiper blades:

1. Lift and (un)lock

Locate the washer blades on your windshield and lift them up. Once in standing position, identify the blade’s locking mechanism (this may vary, depending on your vehicle—if you’re unsure, check the owner’s manual) and unlock the blade.

2. Wait for the click

This GIF by Ford Canada, shows you an important step in changing your wiper blades: Clicking the new blade in place.

With your new blade in hand, simply insert it into the opening and lock it back in place—you’ll hear a clicking sound when done correctly.

3. Wipe away

Now that your new blade is securely in place, lower it back down and wipe your way to a clean windshield.

Bonus tip: Before replacing your wiper blades, try running a wiper fluid-soaked paper towel along the blades to extend their lifespan. Often, all they need is a good clean.
