Attachment style

The 2015 Kenworth W900 primarily uses a J-hook attachment style for its wiper blades. This is one of the most common attachment types, making it easy to find compatible replacement blades.

How to install

Replacing wiper blades on your Kenworth W900 is a straightforward process. Follow these 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 button on the underside of the wiper blade where it connects to the arm. Press or lift this tab and slide the old blade off the J-hook. You may need to apply a little force, but avoid bending the arm.
3. Attach the new blade: Slide the new wiper blade onto the J-hook until you hear a click or feel it lock into place. Ensure it's securely fastened.
4. Lower the wiper arm: Gently lower the wiper arm back onto the windshield. Do not let it snap down, as this could damage the windshield.
5. Test the wipers: Turn on your wipers to ensure they are functioning correctly and clearing the windshield effectively.

(Note: While the J-hook is standard, some aftermarket blades may come with multiple adapters. Always refer to the instructions provided with your new blades if you encounter an unusual attachment or need guidance on adapter selection.)

When to replace

Wiper blades should generally be replaced every 6 to 12 months, or sooner if you notice any of the following signs:

• Streaking: If the blades leave streaks or lines across your windshield, they are no longer making proper contact.
• Chattering or skipping: Worn blades can cause a chattering or跳动 sound as they move across the glass.
• Squeaking: Loud squeaks during operation can indicate dried, hardened, or cracked rubber.
• Reduced visibility: If your wipers are no longer clearing the windshield effectively, especially in rain or snow, it's time for a replacement.
• Cracked or torn rubber: Visually inspect the rubber on your wiper blades. If you see any cracks, tears, or hardening, replace them immediately.
