Don't let the bare metal arm slap the windshield. It can crack the glass.
Find your blade lengths in the owner's manual, a fit guide, or by measuring. Driver and passenger sides are often different.
Lift the wiper arm away from the glass. Lay a towel on the windshield in case the arm snaps back.
Press the release tab and slide the old blade off the arm.
Slide the new blade on until it clicks, then lower the arm gently.
