Attachment Style

The 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee uses a Push Button style attachment for the front driver and passenger side wiper arms. This is a common and relatively easy-to-use mounting style.

The rear wiper uses a Roc Lock 2 attachment, which is a specific type of small hook/clip system. When buying a rear wiper, ensure it comes with the correct adapter for this attachment.

How to Install Wiper Blades

Changing the wiper blades on your Grand Cherokee is a straightforward maintenance task you can do in a few minutes.

Front Wipers (Push Button):

1. Lift the Wiper Arm: Gently lift the wiper arm away from the windshield until it locks in the upright service position.
2. Locate the Button: Find the square button on the wiper blade connector where it meets the arm.
3. Press and Push: Press the button firmly and slide the old wiper blade downwards, away from the hooked end of the arm. It should release easily.
4. Install the New Blade: Slide the new wiper blade connector into the hook on the wiper arm until you hear an audible "click." Give it a gentle tug to ensure it's securely locked in place.
5. Lower the Arm: Carefully lower the wiper arm back onto the windshield.
6. Repeat for the other side.

Rear Wiper (Roc Lock 2):

1. Lift the rear wiper arm away from the glass.
2. Rotate the blade assembly perpendicular to the arm.
3. Unclip the old blade from the arm. This may require a small flathead screwdriver to gently release the locking tab.
4. Clip the new blade securely into place on the arm.

When to Replace Wiper Blades

Wiper blades are a wear item and should be replaced every 6 to 12 months for optimal safety and visibility. You should replace them sooner if you notice any of the following signs:

• Streaking: Leaving lines or streaks of water on the windshield.
• Chattering: The blade skips or vibrates as it moves across the glass.
• Squeaking: Loud noises during operation.
• Cracked Rubber: Visible damage, splitting, or cracking on the rubber squeegee.

Don't wait for a downpour to realize your wipers are failing. Regular inspection and replacement will ensure you have a clear view of the road ahead, no matter the weather.
