L494 Wiper Blade replacement.

As per the title - anybody got any advice on changing the wiper blades on the RRS L494 - I've tried everywhere - YouTube - searched on here & even Topix but no joy ;(
The Sports currently fitted with the OEM blades & I've discovered the maintainance mode to enable the blades to be positioned ready for replacement.

Look at the new ones & how they go on then that will give you idea of how old ones come off.if that fails nip it round to mine in the morning & I’ll change them for you.

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

Remember to put the wipers to the winter park position before even attempting to lift the arms off the screen otherwise you will damage the paint on the trailing edge of the bonnet - the wiper I have not yet found out how to change is the rear blade 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Hi,
Let us know when you sus it out ?
Used the winter wiper position couple of days ago to clean the screen and front blades

Did wonder how to check the rear blade? No park position for that unless it’s old school, turn ign off halve way through the sweep??? Porsche Cayenne 2022

gone Corris Grey HSE Dynamic 2016

Cannot get my L494 rear wiper to do what is demonstrated in the video - looks like a visit to the dealer will be required when it is time to change that one. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Have you tried switching wiper on to continuous mode and then opening boot but timing it so wiper will stop in mid sweep? Worked that way for me.
