Hey guys, been a while since I posted here, but I got kind of a silly question. The wiper assembly on my 1995 LS has begun to fade, chip, and peel revealing what is I assume the shiny steel or aluminum below. I got some flat black weather resistant paint, now my question is: how do I remove the entire wiper assembly from the motor up? I need to do this for both the front windshield wipers and the hatch wiper. If this doesnt make sense, I can try and provide some pictures of what I'm talking about. To sum up: how do I remove the entire wiper arm, not just the blade holder?

Thanks,

the front ones have a bolt on each wiper that holds them on.
the back one has a bolt that holds on the wiper arm but it is under the thine plastic cover. be careful when prying it up. if its cold outside and you're using a screwdriver, it may break. But it is relatively easy to take off and once you do, the bolt will be visible.

What he said. While you're at it you may as well remove the rear wiper. That's how I solved the whole fading problem. There's a plug in your firewall basically behind the firewall that is the same size as the hole in your rear window. Fits perfectly. Do you ever use your rear wiper? I didn't. Makes the car look much better.

 

Thanks so much guys, I saw an articel about removinc the rear wiper. Looks like a neat cosmetic mod, that I will look into. Have any pictures of your car without the wiper? Thanks again.

 

Ok and ran into a problem, the back wiper. I got the plastic over off and the bolt, but now the wiper assembly wont come off. What do I do?

 

flip the spring up and then jiggle it a lil. i thought ine was stuck on there but after a good nudge it came rigt off. if its really stuck try the screwdriver thing again.

 

Takes a bit ofr workin back and forth.
