In this video, I'll be showing you how to replace the wiper arm in this 99 Suburban, same as pretty much any truck or GM SUV of this body style from this vintage, basically '88 to '99. Remove the windshield wiper arms, pretty easy. You flip the arm up and there's a little tab right here, and that pulls up. Then you can just poke your hands underneath there, and pull it up and off, and the same thing for the other side. Okay, so here's our original arm. New arm from 1AAuto. You can see it's all exactly the same. Here it's going to meld on just the same. If you want to swap your wiper blades over, you just press this little button, little tab, slide the wiper blade out. There you go. Obviously it'll go right on to the new one, okay.

What tends to happen is either your springs break, or these rivets here wear out, and everything gets sloppy. Additionally, what can happen is your arm can get stuck, and then actually the transmission, or the round thing that you pull the arm off of, either that or more likely the arm, which is just die cast, gets stripped out. In that case, you want to check your transmission and make sure that's in good shape as well. Okay, now, putting the wiper arms back on. If you need to put new transmissions on, or you're putting on new wipers, you may need to coax them on there. Sometimes the back of the hand will do it. Shake them back and forth. Click the bottom down. Do the same thing over here, and you're all set.
