Attachment style

The 2021 Kenworth T680 primarily uses a Hook style attachment for its wiper blades. This is one of the most common and straightforward attachment methods, ensuring a secure fit.

How to install

Replacing the wiper blades on your 2021 Kenworth T680 is a simple maintenance task. Here are the general steps:

1. Lift the wiper arm: Gently pull the wiper arm away from the windshield until it locks in the upright position.
2. Remove the old blade: Locate the small tab or clip on the wiper blade where it connects to the arm. Press this tab and slide the old blade off the j-hook or attachment point.
3. Attach the new blade: Slide the new wiper blade onto the wiper arm's hook until you hear a click or feel it lock into place. Give it a gentle tug to ensure it's secure.
4. Lower the wiper arm: Carefully lower the wiper arm back onto the windshield.
5. Repeat for the other side: Follow the same steps for the passenger side wiper blade.

Note: While hook attachments are common, always double-check your specific wiper arm and blade for any unique attachment mechanisms. Refer to the instructions provided with your new wiper blades if you encounter an unusual attachment style.

When to replace

Wiper blades are a critical safety component on your truck, and regular replacement is essential for clear visibility. You should consider replacing your wiper blades every 6 to 12 months, or at the first signs of wear. Here are common indicators that your wiper blades need replacing:

• Streaking: If your wipers leave lines or streaks of water on the windshield, the rubber element is likely worn or damaged.
• Chattering or skipping: When the blades don't glide smoothly across the glass and instead skip or chatter, it's a sign of stiff or hardened rubber.
• Squeaking: Excessive noise during operation can indicate worn blades or an improper angle.
• Visible damage: Inspect the rubber element for cracks, tears, or missing pieces. Anytime the rubber appears compromised, it's time for a new blade.

Proactive replacement ensures you maintain optimal visibility during rain, snow, and other adverse weather conditions.
