Question Front Wiper Arm delete

have searched here and google for a DIY but can't find anything. Did the rear wiper delete a while back from a vid on here. Looking to remove the front wiper blades/arms like the rear. Anyone that has done this or can link me to some DIY would much appreciate it....

I'm at work and don't have my car in front of me, but it's a pretty simple process. Took mine off back in '07 about a month after I brought it home from the dealership.

If you plan to drive it on the street, you won't pass the safety inspection.

You are correct, but the original poster states he is from St Louis and Missouri does have safety inspections and in the St Louis area, emission inspections as well.

Hollywood, this is such an easy task even I can do it. At the base of the wiper arm there is an integrated little cover, underneath this is a single bolt. Remove the bolt and pry the arm up from its splined shaft. Take note, or put a small mark on the shaft/arm so you can reinstall at a later date in the proper alignment.

If you think the little stub of splined shaft that will barely show is still uncool, cover them with small rubber caps.

If there is a chance of rain when you plan to be out and about, simply reinstall the driver’s side wiper to retain ½ cool points.

If all of your driving is over about 40 MPH simply treat the windshield with RainX or similar and the water drops will fly off better than a wiper can wipe them.
