I got new wiper blade refills from hand-accessories.com. They were 2 new rubber blades. I tried putting them on, but no matter how hard I pulled, I couldn't get the old blades to come out of the clips that hold it to the wiper assembly. So whats the secret? How do I get the old blades out so I can put in the new ones?

 

The blades will only slide out one way. I believe they slide towards the drivers side of the car if the wipers are in their resting position. If you have angled them to remove the blades, they should slide down & towards you if you are standing on the drivers side of the car.

Hope that clarifies it a bit.

 

A little hint if I may about making wiper blades last longer....every month spray a little rubber safe silicone on a rag and wipe it across the blade.this will help keep the rubber soft and help prevent spliting.I know the blades don't cost very much but they can be a pain in the ass the get off.

 

If you look at the ends of your new rubber inserts, you'll notice that one end has straight edges, while the other end has a little flare on the sides near the end. Just beyond the flared area is a little indented notch on each side, followed by a tapered section that goes to the straight edges. There is a metal clip that fits into that little notch. Now look at the wiper blades that are still on the car, find the end that has the flared areas. You'll find a metal clip that fits into the notch, now squeeze the rubber section beyond the notch (the tapered section) and push the notch in the blade out past the metal clip. Once the notch is beyond the clip, the blade just slides out.

The two wiper blades probably have different lengths, so work on one blade at a time so you don't get them mixed up.

I don't know if the blades for the S2000 are the same as other Honda blades. If they are, then there should be two thin metal strips that fit into slots on the sides of the rubber insert. Be very careful not to bend these metal strips. If there are metal strips, just remove them from the old blades and carefully insert them into the new blades and slide the blades back onto the wiper arms. When you get to the end, squeeze the tapered flared area to push it past the metal clip until the clip settles into the notch and you are done.
