    Good evening

    Thank you for this very detailed tutorial. If I may, it is not necessary to disassemble the wiper arms, just remove the small plastic cover on the driver's side. When reassembling, it is quite easy to put the seal back in place under the plastic covers. This allowed me to save a few minutes.

Yes, that's why I saw a lot of badly placed air filters!!!

Good morning,

As "Laurent Guibourdenche" said about the good screwdriver, use a screwdriver like the one found in socket boxes.

Fit a small universal joint onto the screwdriver and you're done.

For the windshield wipers I agree with the other three comments.

I confirm, no need to disassemble the wipers. The most complicated thing is to have the right screwdriver to unscrew the air box.

I totally agree with you mamac12,

remove the plastic then a sheet of iron underneath and that's it, don't complicate things.

THANKS

There is absolutely no need to remove the windshield wipers when changing the air filter.
