Hardest thing is getting them out of the packet. You have remembered to do that haven't you.........

IF you have change blade manufacturer, it's possible the plastic fitting attachment may have changed, if so use the one that is on the car and as a rule of thumb I remove the old blade and leave it on the windscreen so I can see how the new one fits.

Um, wow, what more can I say. Its not rocket science? No, it is a car wiper blade. Snap on, snap off, easy as. If some idiot at halfords can do it, it really cannot be that hard. Can it?

Even more embarrassing asking them.
If you are struggling then check out YouTube. Often easier to see a video than trying to decipher instructions.

It can be really hard if you are given the wrong ones despite what Halfords auto system tells you

Took 'em to work this morning and got a mate to help me. The front two weren't easy. Passenger one took 10 minutes. He had to remove the clip off the Halfords one (driver side) and fit the clip off the one he'd removed to make that fit, and other 10 minutes.
I did the rear one. THAT was dead easy. 30 seconds.

The fronts were an absolute pig to do on my Citroen. Yet to see if they are any better on my Peugeot.

Sums it up perfectly and our local Halfords seem to take the idiots that can't cope at MacDonalds

In my time I have taken cars back to just a chassis and a few boxes of bits so changing a wiper should be simple for me should it not

It's not difficult to take a car back to a chassis....
... It's rebuilding it where the skill is!!!!

I bought my daughter a bike from Halfords years ago and they couldn’t even assemble the brakes properly. Even with an arrow on the blocks stating correct orientation they put them on the wrong sides. Only thing Halfords is good for are air fresheners, and they are vastly overpriced.
