ZedJohn Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Hello, I've bought a new wiper blade and tried to remove the old one and it won't budge. I know there's not much travel lifting it away from the rear windscreen, but is it just a case of brute force to unclip the blade from the arm? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 There is a little clip you push in like the fronts. Then slide it down firmly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 at the pivot point of the rear wiper arm the the cover that sits over it should slide back about 3-5 mm, which then allows the rear arm up for changinging cleaning etc. i know this as huskies does it, but mine doesn't as it seems to have seized on. have a try but if its not budging then leave it and go for plan B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zednick666 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 ... I had the same trouble a couple of weeks back, but daren't post on here through fear of being laughed at! I just swore at it quite a lot, and eventually worked out the clip underneath, and a bit of brute force Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Everyone told me it would be easy but it was an awkward b1tch to get off! I can't remember how i even did it now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 To be honest if I was having trouble with it I'd just remove the arm ad do it off the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZedJohn Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 Thanks all! I'm a muppet with car parts, caused no end of trouble with a Focus I used to own. Decided to paint the calipers bright yellow and it all went wrong from there....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rentech Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I had no luck with this. The lower cover slid back ok but the upper arm would still not lift above a few centimetres . I managed to flex the wiper arm just enough to get the new wiper in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
