Installation Guide

1. Remove the Old Arm: Detach the existing wiper arm by loosening the mounting screws and disconnecting the hydraulic hose. Carefully lift the arm away from the vehicle.
2. Prepare the New Arm: Align the V10-2446 with the mounting bracket, ensuring that the washer cap faces the rear glass. Verify that the hydraulic fitting matches the existing hose.
3. Attach the Arm: Secure the arm using the supplied screws or fasteners. Tighten evenly to avoid stress on the plastic material.
4. Reconnect the Hose: Connect the hydraulic hose to the new arm’s fitting, ensuring a snug seal to prevent fluid leakage.
