A guide on replacing the front wiper blades on a 2008 Cadillac Escalade ESV:

1. **Procure the Correct Blades**: Before starting, ensure you have the correct replacement wiper blades for your Cadillac Escalade ESV. Measure the existing blades or refer to your owner's manual for the appropriate sizes.

2. **Lift the Wiper Arms**: Carefully lift the wiper arms away from the windshield. They should be perpendicular to the windshield, making it easier to access the blades.

3. **Release the Old Blade**: Look for the release tab or button on the wiper blade assembly where it connects to the wiper arm. Press or pull this tab to release the old blade from the arm. Be cautious not to let the wiper arm snap back onto the windshield, as this can cause damage.

4. **Remove the Old Blade**: Once the release mechanism is activated, slide the old wiper blade downwards off the wiper arm. Dispose of the old blade properly.

5. **Install the New Blade**: Take the new wiper blade and slide it onto the wiper arm in the same orientation as the old blade. Ensure that the mounting mechanism clicks or locks into place securely.

6. **Lower the Wiper Arm**: Gently lower the wiper arm back onto the windshield. Make sure it rests properly and does not come into contact with the windshield trim or any other obstructions.

7. **Repeat for the Other Blade**: If you're replacing both front wiper blades, repeat the same process for the other side.

8. **Test the Wiper Operation**: Turn on the wiper system to ensure that the new blades operate smoothly and effectively. Check for any streaking or skipping, which may indicate improper installation or defective blades.

9. **Adjust if Necessary**: If the wiper blades do not make full contact with the windshield or if there are any issues with their performance, reposition them on the wiper arms and ensure they are securely attached.

Following these steps should allow you to successfully replace the front wiper blades on your 2008 Cadillac Escalade ESV, ensuring clear visibility and safe driving in adverse weather conditions.
