    I went through the illustrations which were well done. Either my fingers are just not adept enough or I am missing something. I put the rubber replacement blades in but no way can I get the splines to go back in by threading it through the rubber and the clips. They get hung up on the first clip. What am I doing wrong:( Hurry it's going to rain tonight!

    If you're using wiper refills, you transfer the metal strips to the new blade first, and then slide the whole thing back into the wiper arm. I can't tell from your description what you're doing wrong.

    I just replaced mine and found it very easy AFTER I figured out I needed to give a firm pull to get the old one out :)
