Re: Windshield wiper removal
took out the tab? you are supposed to push it up with a screwdriver and wiggle the wiper off.

Re: Windshield wiper removal
Well that certainly didnt have an affect, sadly. I put the tabs back in and then pushed on them with a screwdriver while wiggling the arm, and they didnt move a bit. ANy suggestions?

Re: Windshield wiper removal
I pull my tabs out, using a rag to cover the wiper base, I grab it with my
soft teeth craftsman pliers, and with the other as close to the base as I can get it, my hand that is, I wiggle while the arm is stretched inverted.

Re: Windshield wiper removal

Re: Windshield wiper removal
Possible, but the shafts are bolted down, the 1st time they're always a beyotch
after that they get easier everytime you do it. Just try to be a lil patient

Re: Windshield wiper removal
You can pop them off with a screwdriver, but it usually will scratch the paint,
or even worse depending on the amount of force you use, can bend the cowl.
