hey guys.. i don't no if any one has thought about this, but does any one no how to take off the wipers on a 2001 WS6?? i think they just pull off.. but i don't wana f*^k with it cuz i'll proboly break somethin...just need some advice or no if there. I think the car will look more slick without wipers.. and plus i don't use em cuz i got wax on the window so water beeds off.
Thanx for any help

I agree, the car would probably look slicker and unique without them, like the rear window, however, I do not know how to take them off and do not advise it being a good idea. What wax do you use??? I know of some wax products where water does beed off, but dam, for you willing to take off your wipers, your wax must be amazing. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

LIft off the hinges plastic cover at the base of the arm, remove nut and pull of the arm. A small battery terminal remover for the old post style batteries helps.

Thanx

They are on pretty tight, that is why I syggested using the battery post puller. I have never taken the wipers off my SS, but I remember from my older cars. It is amazing the forces on wiper arms, that is why they are so tight. I seriously doubt you can just pull them off with your bare hands, you could try prying but I would be extremely worried about cracking the windsheild.

Ya thats what im worried about to.. cuz the whole wiper motor underneither moves when i pull up on it.. ya i hope my glass woouldn't break <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
