How to Fit Wiper Blades on a Fiat 500
Fitting wiper blades with a Pinch Tab (Push Button) fitting is straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Lift the wiper arm away from the windscreen until it locks in the upright position.
- Press the release tab on the pinch tab (push button) connector and slide the old blade off the arm.
- Align the new blade with the arm hook and slide it on until you hear a click.
- Gently lower the arm back onto the windscreen — don’t let it snap down.
- Repeat for the other side, remembering the sizes differ: 24″ driver, 14″ passenger.
Pro tip: Replace both front wipers at the same time, even if only one looks worn. This ensures even performance across the full windscreen sweep.
