How to Change Windshield Wipers

[@yrjokalevi]

Just to point out that when your wipers are off and only the metal rod is in the upwards position, be very careful not to accidentally let the metal rod fall towards the window! I've seen a smashed window because of that. If for whatever reason i have to let the car sit for a while without the wiper on, i always lay the rod down gently to avoid accidentally smashing the window.

[@GriffinWiebel]

This happened to me and I had to buy a new windshield. Now I always lay a microfiber cloth on the area of potential impact before I take the blades off.

[@derekbroestler7687]

Was about to say the same. I like to just put a shop towel on the windshield so if the arm does slip I don't do damage.

[@President_Jjit]

Thank you, daddy ☺️☺️☺️

[@hosswindu166]

Just put a good-sized thick towel - like a bath sheet towel or a beach towel - across the windshield while changing the wiper blades.

[@jaritzacaraballo4575]

I learned to lay a towel down… out of straight fear

[@BlackJackTheRaven]

I’m gonna be honest, I have a good dad but I HAD to come here to support you dude. You have no idea how much your helping people in this world, my dad hasn’t even taught half the stuff you show! God speed man!

[@danseavec_moi]

I have a great dad too! But he’s a busy guy so I still appreciate this channel a lot!! I also sometimes need to learn slower so I can just rewatch the videos a few times lol. This man is SO WHOLESOME!!! We need way more guys like him and less like Andrew Tate. Seriously this guy on KZbin is such a Saint. I hope he knows how appreciated he is. I’m sure some who don’t have relationships with their dads or who sadly lost their dad might really appreciate this channel.

[@meghannsherman]

Learning how to replace windshield wipers, cabin and engine air filters and tail lights has saved me so much money. And shown me how much of an upsale filters are. I've had them tell me filters I just replaced needed to be changed and try to charge me 3x the amount to do so. Love that you are showing everyone how easy this can be!

[@marah3298]

So so true.

[@W94urndks9urneos]

Very true fact! Especially for our daughters!

[@LS-xh9fr]

I lost my father when i was 14, i really enjoy the videos because i can finally do the simple things my father would teach me if he was still alive. Keep going man, you're doing so much more then just making simple instruction videos!❤

[@abbyz13]

I hope you are doing well with Father’s day coming up. I know for a lot of us this is our safe space and we really appreciate all the work you do.

[@swhight]

I know this channel is primarily aimed at young folks, but I’m a 63-year-old woman and I’ve learned so much from you! I was raised with four younger brothers. My dad taught the boys how to do this stuff while I was stuck in the house doing “woman’s work”. It’s never too late to learn, though, and I really appreciate what you’re doing for all of us who need some new life skills! 😊

[@DadhowdoI]

Hi Suzanne, My channel is for everyone. Glad you’re here 🙏🏻

[@Dawn00767]

Hi, I just found your channel. My dad had three daughters in a time when girls weren’t taught the same skills boys were. My dad was ahead of his time. He made sure we wouldn’t need to depend on anyone except ourselves. He also instilled in us the self confidence to search for a solution to a problem we didn’t know. You brought a smile to my face and joy to my heart. You are amazing.

[@vaazon]

I love this channel. I'm 30 year old raised in dysfunctional family so all the things I know were taught by friends or by youtubers like this Dad!

[@joey5952]

OMG PERFECT TIMING!!! My wipers are streaking and I just got your post notification 😭❤️

[@Rifyy]

Lucky

[@peter4854-m8v]

[@AvengerOnCall]

My dad lives in Puerto Rico and I moved stateside 5 years ago. He's not a techie so he wouldn't be able to show me this stuff through FaceTime without it taking at least the same amount as a college degree lol. I always remember this channel when I think of tutorials of how to do stuff my dad could teach me if I was with him. Appreciate you, my guy. The legacy you're gonna leave us will be the most useful and unforgettable!

[@kathleenhannigan2487]

Dad, I LOVE your dad jokes. Keep them coming.

[@lizbethfraga1611]

I know right he does them good

[@JonsGarage89]

Man, Ive rebuilt all kinds of stuff on cars, built crazy rides etc, and wipers STILL give me problems. You're doing the lords work sir!

[@juliemackenzie1978]

Hey Dad! Great Dad joke. I have never changed my windshield wipers before...& I'm 60 years old. Even older than you. I lost my Dad to pancreatic cancer when I was 19 years old. He still needed to teach me more things before he left us. 💔😕 Unfortunately, that was not the way it worked out. I was "Daddy's Little Girl". I have 2 older brothers, but, it's not quite the same. Thank you for stepping in for me sometimes...even at 60, I need your assistance too. Thank you for sharing this video with us. 👍🇨🇦😊

[@espiritual5dportal]

Same here, 60 years old and never chage a wiper or put air on my tires .

[@pedrofrauches]

Some say “the light” is what makes humanity better. You’re the light. It’s so nice to see a person like you making other people lives better with little moments. God bless you, forever, u deserve everything! Thank You for being such an amazing human 🤍

[@Roach1593]

Hi, you have taught me so much, I didn't have a dad growing up and you've taught me such basic things that a dad should teach their son. Like how to tie a tie or shave. I appreciate you more than you know. Thank you for helping people like me.

[@shadowmonarch8335]

my dad passed away when i was 15 so i didnt know a lot of stuff but you helped alot i have been watching for past 2 years now when you uploaded a video of how to tie your tie

[@idontevencarewhathtissays]

I'm 40 years old and I still come to this channel for help. I hope this guy knows the good he's doing.

[@82gamerprincess31]

This is a great time to also give your windshield a good thorough cleaning as well, and the gutter between the hood and windshield where the wipers rest. Also to test and fill your windshield cleaner.

[@camvupham2845]

Thank you so much, Dad! I’m gonna do it today!

[@peter4854-m8v]

Hey, thank you for this. I have a terrible father who never helped me in my life. I have the same probleam, so on monday i will do this in my own car. Thank you again.

[@Ginasgusa]

I am not a kid. I am 64 years old and I have the urge to start learning things normally done by my hubby in case he goes first. 🤣🤣🤣. I am glad that you do repeat your words and action twice. Appreciate that.. slow learner here. Yea, I know.. I could always rewatch or “rewind”.

[@iD-vd4pv]

Oke so the fact that you thought about the folks without dads and decided to help them just made me cry.Thank you so much!

[@sylviaestrada1173]

I just heard yr story on klove n I started crying, thank God I had my dad growing up to show me what I needed in life but I think bout all those kids who didn't/don't have their dad's n they grow up not learning anything, that's great that u r doing this, God bless you always ❤️

[@LONEWOLF-di3ct]

Thank you pops it only took me 20 minutes trying to figure this out on my own until I saw this video since I have no father. Bless your soul for showing us how to go about life with your guidance.

[@claudiahancock9916]

I sincerely hope Mr. Kenney sees this... Hello, new to your channel. After seeing a clip of one of your vids in a compilation vid...I sat here and sobbed. Not because my Father was absent...not because my Father is bad in any way, he has always been a good Father. Only in the "old fashioned" way. He did everything with my sibling, expecting my Mother to do things with me. Well, I've always been a tomboy. Very athletic, etc. Sir, I am 56 yrs old, and I never knew what it was like to have my Father teach me things. The useful things you are sharing. Now I know what its like...and I thank you. Thats a feeling I will keep dear, the rest of my days.

[@DadhowdoI]

Thanks for the encouragement Claudia 🙏🏻

[@willeroni1149]

I really appreciate you and everything you do. My dad was never around, and I've been watching your videos since i was about 14. Now, im 18 and still figuring out everything out. Thank you so much!

[@morgana235]

Awesome. Definitely something to know! My boyfriend manages a large auto part store and I'm sure he says thanks for adding " when they are not busy" in there lmaoooooo . He changes mine too but now I'll know how next time. 😏 you are awesome and appreciated.

[@sammyeloise8522]

Thanks for this video. I always thought the rubber got replaced, not the whole arm. As a divorced woman I find your videos really helpful. Thank you 🙂

[@KellyS25]

My dad said in the old days they used to just replace the rubber. It was much more eco-friendly and easier to replace than how wipers are nowadays.

[@sammyeloise8522]

@@KellyS25Yes, i must have seen my dad do this. 😊

[@RickHebrews12]

There are still wiper "refills" (the rubber part) available, so you may have the option to replace them rather than the entire blade. If the blades get weak and don't hold the rubber insert down, it's time to change the whole thing. 🙂

[@majesticoolmuffin7992]

I needed this helpful encouragement because I've probably shortened the lifepsan of my wiper motors by putting off this routine change.....

[@sewwandiranaweera5766]

Thank you. I love when you call your viewers ‘kids’. Love from Sri Lanka

[@taxihitman92]

Hey mate, I just wanted to take the time to thank you from a person that not only didn’t have a father, but didn’t have any parental unit that cared enough to teach me how to do things and as such. I am extremely high anxiety when I’m trying to learn something new because I don’t know shit so something like this is incredibly helpful to me. Thank you.

[@BudgiePanic]

The tip about asking them to swap out the part at the store rings true. Last time I was at an auto shop, we asked if they could swap out a tail light and they did!

[@mizzki9836]

I know I like a lot of women are thankful for videos like urs. True empowerment. Thank you!

[@Ivanovitch2885]

This is great to see. There are several maintenance items on a car that can be done by just about anybody, but there's always mystery around them if you're not into cars. Dad's right that the auto parts guys usually provide these services as a courtesy but asking them to show you how usually ends up as a win-win for all. The customer now knows how to do the job and the parts guy got to teach somebody something new and next time he's on to the next customer. Another couple of great ones are cabin air and engine air filters. At just your average service center you're paying a 35%+ mark up on parts plus labor for a service you can often do with no tools in your driveway. Plus you get a sense of when something is out of place on your vehicle and needs the professionals.

[@geo1142]

I think your motivation for posting your content is touching. Not only are you teaching adults who grew up without dads but my friend growing up and I are both not handy because my dad wasn’t handy and , although his dad was , my friend didn’t care enough to learn. 3 different scenarios of guys or girls that can’t do anything. KZbin has been a life saver on how to do the simplest things that would cost big bucks hiring out. Thank you for showing 4 mill subscribers “How to”. I’m now learning how to chop wood into kindle using a camping axe and a batoning method. Never heard of it and bought my first axe. Now I can show my kids. 😃

[@colleenfitzsimons4029]

Thank you! I just did this with your help. I know if my dad was still alive he’d be helping me the same way you are!

I’m here from a reference on Instagram to show support and appreciation. I have a father but sadly he’s not a good role model and didn’t invest much time spent with my brother and I. Your videos are doing a huge service to all those that never did, lost, or didn’t have the best father. You’re amazing!

Twice I've messed this up, the 2nd time I nearly wrecked my car, while driving thru a super bad storm Thank you for this🖤 (Btw, it is my situation that I'm raising two children without the participation and their father for the last 6 years now. As my daughter turned 16 and then started college she's a sophomore now I've tried to make sure I teach her along the way how to check your oil how to add oil how to check your air pressure on your tires how to change a tire how to plug a tire.

You are a wonderful person. My mom was in your situation and did not learn these things nor teach me. She was abusive for a myriad of reasons. I think your way of charging forward and soldiering on is wonderful.

Tired of waiting on my husband to replace my wipers that have been sitting around for about two weeks now, i decided to KZbin it and remembered about your channel and sure enough you had a video for this 🥹 thank you KZbin dad.

[@Kyle_Hubbard]

Appreciated. I need to take mine off to clean them and the windshield. I've been having smearing problems. I went to a shop and they told me that they didn't need replacing and to clean them and the windshield with a degreasing cleaner and that if I have any more issues to go back and they'd have a mechanic come out and take a look and give me some advice. Appreciated their help and yours. Cheers.

I actually just bought a set of blades a few weeks ago and literally could not figure out how to get them on. Spent several minutes trying to figure it out since I looked up how to do it. Gave up and the next day my dad had done it for me while I was sleeping. I was grateful but also disappointed cause I wanted to see how he did it.

[@aidanyelsma7762]

I’m glad I’m seeing this. The first time I changed my windshield wipers, I broke the old ones when I took them off and just kinda figured out how to put the new ones on.

Thank you so much, I’ve been putting this off on my car for so long cause I just didn’t know how. One thing I’m still not sure about was the different lengths. I went to the store and looked up my car but it still offered different length options and I wasn’t sure what to choose. Do you literally just measure your current wipers?

[@QixTheDS]

He hasn’t done it yet, but since he brought it up I wanted to comment. To those who don’t know how to change a tail light, it’s ridiculously easy, but the way the casing is set can vary slightly between cars so be sure to look up your model just in case. In my case, I have a 2015 Nissan Altima. The tail light can just be pushed off by applying pressure from the side toward the rear. So your hands are on the side of the light pushing toward the back. Once the casing is off, you just twist and pull out the bulbs of it and the bulbs come out of their sets just the same. The bulbs are all different sizes so there’s no mistaking where they go either. If you have to replace the whole array you’ll need to take off the side trunk wall which you may need a video to do if you’ve never done it.
