2. Prepare the new blade: Unwrap the H290 from its protective packaging. Inspect the rubber edge for any manufacturing defects.
3. Attach the blade: Slide the new blade onto the mounting bracket until it clicks into place. Ensure that the rubber edge sits flush against the glass.
4. Re‑attach the wiper arm: Lower the arm back onto the window, allowing it to rest on the new blade. Verify that the arm moves freely without binding.
5. Test the wipe: With a light spray of water, run the wiper to confirm smooth operation and even coverage.

Maintenance Tips

• Regular Inspection: Check the rubber edge every few weeks for signs of wear, cracks, or hardening. Replace if any damage is observed.
• Clean the Blade: Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to remove dirt or road grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the rubber.
