Default Removing rear wiper arm...

Hey guys, I know this is a repost, and have been reading the other forums on this topic, but anyways...

so I'm deleting the rear wiper, ive taken the plastic off on the interior side of the hatch, unscrewed the nut on top of the arm, but I cant get it off. some pages have said to just wiggle and pull up on the arm, and others say turn it counter clock wise... ive tried both, and yet im still stuck.. I just dont want to break anything haha

stick with it…as long as you have the nut off then its just a matter of removing the arm from the motor bolt. Can you place a towel or rag on the deck lid and and use a screw driver or crow-bar to pry it off?

I got mine from rearwiperdelete.com. It was a bit more expensive, but the color match and fitment were spot-on.

I got mine at rearwiperdelete.com too, a little more money and it seemed like it took about a week too long to get but it was worth the money and wait, the color match was spot-on.

I just rotated mine counterclockwise and it loosened up. I got the faucet stopper from homedepot for a dollar or two and had a body shop paint it when I got my aftermarket front and sides painted so the match is good. No silicon or anything, just the foam gasket that it came with and no leaks at all.

Just tap the bolt that comes up through the wiper with a hammer and it should cause it to pop right of if you have unscrewed the bolts that hold the wiper motor in place.
