Default How to change windshield wipers

I hate to make this my first post, but how does one remove the windshield wipers? I don't see any pins to push to release the old wipers. I didn't have any difficulty removing them on my previous automobiles.

I have a 1993 model.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pull up on the little tab and pull wiper back off the end of the arm.

I don't see any tab to pull or push.

The wiper arm has a pin. The wiper blade has a hole that the pin fits into. It's a simple male/female attachment.

I just don't see anyway to release the two.

Take it to AutoZone or Advance. They will put them in for you.

Just pull it off the pin. There is no "release". Just take it off and put the new one on.

It's a plug and play type deal, there's no release or catch, just pull it off.
