Re: how to take off wipers? 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" />

Re: how to take off wipers? 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.

Re: how to take off wipers? Ok now they aint comin off.. i pulled pretty dam hard.. what year is your car? maybe they change the way they made them?? hmm.. thats weird.. it shouldn't be that tight.. or should it?
Re: how to take off wipers? 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.

Re: how to take off wipers? i used a 2 prong gear puller and a valve spring puller and a c clamp, don't ask how i used all of those at the same time. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
