Wiper arms just pull off but will likely be rusted on spray them with rust remover or something and let them soak. Once you get the arms off remove all those little black tabs and the cowl cover will come off just take off the windshield sprayer line on the back

It sure sounds easy.

But be careful when removing the wiper arms. Some people have been over-zealous and busted their windshield by yanking and prying too hard.

wiper arm and a few clips yes

like he said be careful with the wiper arms.

Heres a couple tips:

13mm nut under the cover

close hood, bend wiper blade up 90 degrees, put one hand on the base and the other one up higher on the arm. push/pull up and down with it like this and theyll pop right out.

thats right i said close the hood.

Yea I just painted mine and wiper arms like an hour ago the round tabs use a flathead and pry the middle out the middle comes out first then the outer circle comes out as for the wiper arms use a 13mm socket you'll have to open the hood to get drivers side off try to turn then as your prying up

Sorry can't help you there. All I did was take the parts off. My friend works at a bodyshop and painted them for me.

well the windshield cowl is off...actually the wiper arms came off pretty damn easy.

so i painted the cowl with some plastic Krylon paint.

i need to replace the weather stripping under the cowl cause it old and brittle....im just **** like that and of course i cleaned all the dirt and grime that was under the cowl.


thanks for the tips on getting on how to get everything removed.
