Re: Wiper blades
Flex the blade arm level. Use something flat (non maring) maybe lg screwdriver covered in a rag & pry up next to the shaft. Thats the tricky part without damage to cowl.

x2....And keep a hold of it so you don't launch it, and then it lands on the Hood.

Re: Wiper blades
Yup pretty much pry them off they have a clip that will ingage below the arm that has the arm that the arm goes on. Sometimes it catches on there, you might have to use a screw driver to pry the clip while you pry the arm up. Make sure to run the wipers so that they rest in the proper down position. Cuz the wiper arms can go past the "probper resting position, thats probally what the PO did. It can be frusterating!!! I just did this.

Re: Wiper blades
There is a special tool they make for these I seen years ago. But just like the battery clamp tool no one ever used em. How often you would need to remove em.
