Replacement of Front Wiper Blades

Got my new blades from Sunset; any hints on how to remove the old ones and install the new ones? Do i need any tools?

No tools needed. IIRC, you pull up the cover and the wiper slips off the rod. How much were they?

Now might be a good time to perform the PAG "Angle of Attack" adjustment, to prevent the new blades from sounding like 2 elephants dragging their asses across your windshield when it rains........or, maybe not.

How does the rear window blade come off? Just pull hard and it snaps out, or is there something you need to do to release it?
