To switch out the windshield wiper blades on the 2014 Ford Escape, you'll need to start with a fresh set of blades. The driver's side blade is 28 inches long, the passenger side is also 28 inches, and the rear blade measures 11 inches. Begin by parking in a secure location. The beauty of this task is that it requires no tools. Start by lifting the wiper blade arm and locating a spot in the middle where you can squeeze to release it. Then insert the new blade, first hooking it in and angling it down before squeezing to secure it in place.
To change the wiper blade on a 2014 Ford Escape, start by pushing the black plastic cover out from the base of the wiper arm. Lift the wiper arm away from the car window to get a clear view of the old blade. Use one hand to hold the wiper arm while placing your fingers between the arm and the old blade. Push the old blade towards the window with your other hand to detach it from the mounting bracket on the back side of the wiper arm. Next, align the plastic bar with the new wiper blade mounting bracket and snap the new blade into place on the wiper arm.
