Windshield Wipers Loose

[TICKLE ZOMBIE]

Noticed driving home that my driver side wiper blade was coming loose.

Sure enough when I got back home I was able to pull it all the way off.

I put it back but cannot get it to “click”.

Anyone else have this issue and should I swap them out for something better?

Maybe your clip broke, just get new blades. There's basically nothing that can go wrong with the wiper arm itself.

As Daniel said, just replace the wiper blades. I would do it right away because if the wiper comes off the arm while in use the arm will scratch your windshield.

Do you have a recommendation for a brand?

This is always what I use on all of my vehicles but there are many different opinions among the users here.

Bosch Icon are always a good bet. I actually just slapped a set on mine today to replace the garbage Scrubblade brand I decided to try last time (barely got a year out of them). I previously had a set of the Bosch Icon's on my Focus ST when i was in the Seattle area, got a solid 3+ years out of them.

Went out and got me a set! Too dark tonight to install tonight.
Easy to install otherwise?

Yeah, only thing that's kind of different is the cover around the attachment point on the Icons, you just punch the sides of it and it'll open up. From there it's pretty straight forward
