Follow these steps to learn how to remove front windshield wipers in your 2011 Ford Escape. Always replace both windshield wiper blades, even if only one side is streaking - the rubber on the opposite side is likely worn as well.

Another trick to enhance the longevity of your Escape's wiper blades is to scrape off the ice and snow from the windshield before using your wipers. A layer of ice is known to have sharp edges that can reduce the effectiveness of the micro edge of the rubber wiper blade.
