I've done this a few times before, but short of removing the arms or bonnet I cannot remember how to do this easily! what am I missing, please
Bastard 406 wiper blade change
- Thread starter boodek
- Start date
To make access easier, I turn on the wipers, then turn the key off when the wipers are half-way up the windscreen, leaving them stranded mid-swipe. I can then pull back the arm and get a decent look at what I'm doing.
I don't know if a 406 is the same as my 407 but to change my ones I switch the ignition off after the car is running and then just after touch the wiper stalk . The wipers will then park in the vertical position . I can then swing them forward to allow the blade change . Once you are done put them back on the screen start the car and touch the wiper stalk again and the blades will then park in the normal position . Hope this helps
This may work on a late model, CANBUS, 406.
look similar to the Latitude version - the locking device at the arm-blade connection is released by swinging the blade around until it is at a right angle to the arm, the click is obvious. The blade can then be drawn down the arm out of the hook.
