I found them much easier to change than the trunk.
Use a screwdriver to release the spring clip on the bottoms (you'll see a small flat area on back side of that end that will let you get the blade under the spring), and it will pop off. The tops (small end) just pops off when the bottom is loose.
Fit the new in reverse, just snapping it into place. No need to mess with the spring clip -- it just snaps over the ball.
Make sure you have the hood supported or held open by a helper.
I did mine last summer -- it was nice not having to prop the hood open in the cold weather this winter!
