First, pull on the wiper arm until it raises and locks into the service position. The wiper arm will stand by itself once you raise it past a certain point.
Then find the clip on the underside of the wiper arm (rotate the blade slightly to get to it.
Press the clip in while simultaneously pulling the old wiper blade off the wiper arm. You can then discard the old blade.
Align the new wiper blade with the wiper arm track. Slide it along the track until you hear it click.
Repeat this process with the other wiper blade to complete the replacement of wiper blades on your Highlander.
Return the wiper arms to their normal position against the windshield. Done!
I just changed the wiper blades on my 2008 Highlander base. It is too simple. Pull the arm up so it is perpendicular to the car. In the middle of the wiper arm facing outward is a clip, simply pull the clip up (no tools needed) and take the arm off. Too simple, very different that all the other approaches for wiper blades.
Raise the rear wiper blade to the position as shown in the
illustration where the meshing of the claw disengages with a clicking
sound. NOTE: Be careful not to break the claw.
Pull straight the rear wiper blade to vehicle's left from the wiper arm. NOTE: Do not fold the rear wiper arm with the rear wiper blade removed from it.
REMOVE REAR WIPER RUBBER
Place the rear wiper with the rear end of the rubber protruded from the blade stopper as shown in the illustration. NOTE: Do not pull out the wiper rubber forcibly, as the backing plates will become deformed or the blade claws will become damaged. HINT: The rubber can be easily pulled out by pushing the middle area of the blade.
INSTALL REAR WIPER RUBBER
Install the 2 wiper rubber backing plates to the rear wiper rubber. NOTE: Be careful to observe and keep direction of curvature for correct replacement.
b. Insert the rear wiper rubber from the claw of the middle of the rear wiper blade into the rear end position.
c. After passing the rear wiper rubber through the rear end side claw,
protrude it from the rear end stopper and pass it through the front tip
side claw.
