Attachment style
The 2017 Peterbilt 579 uses a J-hook attachment for both driver and passenger side wiper blades. This is the most common and straightforward attachment type, making replacement simple.
How to install
- Lift the wiper arm: Gently pull the wiper arm away from the windshield until it locks in the upright position.
- Release the old blade: Locate the small tab on the J-hook connector where the blade attaches to the arm. Press this tab and slide the old wiper blade off the arm.
- Install the new blade: Slide the new wiper blade onto the J-hook until it clicks securely into place.
- Lower the wiper arm: Carefully lower the wiper arm back onto the windshield.
When to replace
Wiper blades should be replaced every 6–12 months, or as soon as you notice a decrease in visibility. Signs that your wipers need replacing include streaking, chattering, or skipping on the windshield. For commercial vehicles like the Peterbilt 579, which often operate in demanding conditions, more frequent inspections and replacements may be necessary to ensure safety.
