Default Front wiper blade replacement

Any help appreciated. I have a 2015 xB with the original wiper blades. I can't see how to remove the blades. I've never had a problem with other vehicles but for some reason I am stumped. I've researched YouTube for a video but didn't find one. I know it's a hook arrangement but for the life of me I cannot find the release. Thanks.

This works on most cars with the Hook Release, regardless whether it's a tC, xB, Ford, Chevy, Mopar...

Thanks. Mine is not this simple. I do not have an obvious lever to push on. I've tried to upload a pic but won't take for some reason. I have an appt with dealer tomorrow for routine service so I will ask them. Appreciate your help

Hmmm...Different wiper manufacturers use different style attachments for the small hook. Look for a button or a latch to lift and slide off the old wiper blade:

How to Change 2015 Scion xB Wiper Blades

Unless, you have a unique situation or there is something special about your wipers? Maybe, someone else with a xB2 can chime in?

Here is How to Upload Pics on SL:

p.s. after your Dealer Appointment, maybe you can come back here and Share your Experience.
Thanks.

Thanks! Getting the photo attached worked like a charm. You should be able to see that no lever or button exists, it's just a block.
So yes, if another xB2 knows the solution, please let me know.

It's possible, you don't have a OEM Wiper Blade, but, something like the ANCO Transform Wiper Blades (Shrouded Arm J-Hook Connection):


Look for the small black latch that snaps down at the 1st part of the video. Use your fingers or a small screwdriver to lift up on the latch to release the arm.

Hope this Helps,

MR_LUV

Thank you Mr. Luv for keeping me from looking like an idiot at the dealership tomorrow. Blades are changed, your video was spot-on. I don't ever recall changing those blades (and no one else would have) but I guess I did. Thanks again.
