take off panels inside the trunk lid. everything else is self explanatory (though removing those panels were explanatory as well)

you'll need to take off the arm itself off from outside, and everything else form the inside. to take off the arm, look for the cap and you can pop it open to unbolt the arm.

they have OEM wiper delete plugs i believe or you can be creative and go to autozone which i believe has some sort of plug you can use to fill the hole.

take off the side hooks that hold the privacy screen (there's a screw holding it)

then pull out the pillar panels towards the inside of the car (inward). basically everything pulls out. if the clips are the same on your DA, the clips on the DC5 just snap into holes in the metal....so all you have to do is pull OUT.

i was thinking about doing this to make the back of my car look more clean but then i would get irritated by the switch for the rear wiper still being on the inside. dunno just a weird pet peeve.

Just be warned that one day you may come back and find it missing. There is nothing keeping it from being removed. At least with the factory plug you can bolt it in place and it actually looks clean even with the factory rubber grommet from the wiper assembly being used. I did this last night. BTW, the panels are a bitch to remove.

I actually bought that one from matty_acura but I think the factory one looks better. SO I bought the factory one as well and now the one I bought on ebay is sitting in my glovebox.
