The 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan has the most common hook-end wiper arms. See related links below for installation videos.Also, purchase the replacement blades first and there will be additional instructions/illustrations on the replacement packages. Locate and press the tab or button where the wiper blade is inserted into the hook of the wiper arm and pull wiper blade out of hook. You may have to rotate and flex the blade to make enough clearance for the hook to pass through.
The 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer has the most common hook-end wiper arms. Purchase the replacement blades first

First try measuring the length of the wiper blade and calling your dealer or auto parts store to verify
that the length is truly correct. Technicians might have grabbed the wrong length. If that's ok, go
back to the people who repaired the accident damage and ask them if the arm was correctly installed,
sometimes one notch on the shaft of the the blade arm will make the difference in wiper blade travel,
if both of these possibilities fail, then maybe the shaft might be bent, or loose. Hope this helps-Jim
Make sure you are sliding them all the way back and they should clip and lock, some of these anco blades are cheap and wont lock on they just slide back off, maybe try another brand, heres some picture to show you , hope this helps,
How to Replace Wiper Blades Guide: Potential tools needed to replace wiper blades:
Flat blade screwdriver (small)
Small nosed pliers
Latex or vinyl gloves
Safety goggles
To replace wiper blades the actual action of replacing the blade is no big deal, it's the location of the blade down below the hood that can make it difficult though. Sometimes it helps to open the hood to gain access to the wiper blades. Other times it is helpful if the wiper blade is somewhere in the motion line of wiper action. The trick is to get the wiper to stop somewhere in the wiper arc. Turn the wipers to the on position and allow the wipers to start, and then shut the key off when the wiper has arrived in a desirable position on the windshield. To replace your wiper blades please follow the step by step instruction below. Also, watch the How to replace wiper blades video below to gain additional information. The method in which the wiper blades are attached will vary slightly.
Step 1: With the hood closed, turn the wipers on, when the wipers are in the middle of their arc turn the key to the off position. (Note: if this can't be done because of wiper condition and you want to avoid scratching the windshield please open your hood to gain access)
Step 2: Locate the mounting clips at the top pivot on the wiper blade
Step 3: Release the clip and remove the wiper arm
Step 4: Match the size of the old blade against the new blade to ensure proper fit and operation
Step 5: Reinstall the new wiper blade and recheck wiper operation
Common Problems:
Make sure the wiper blades are the same size as the original blades.
When replacing wiper blades not getting the blade on the mounting pin completely allowing the wiper arm to become dislodged and possibly causing damage to the windshield.
Using wiper blades after the blade has failed permanently damaging the windshield by craving scratches in the wiper arc.
Wiper blade can create a chattering noise when the blade is not properly balanced allowing the blade to "flop" back and forth as the wiper direction changes.
I hope help you with this (remember rated this help) Good luck.
