Rear Wiper Blade: Removal

NOTE: The notched end of the wiper element flexor should always be oriented towards the end of the wiper blade that is nearest to the rear wiper motor output shaft.

Lift the rear wiper arm to raise the wiper blade and element off of the liftglass.
To remove the wiper blade from the wiper arm, push the pivot block latch release tab under the tip of the arm and slide the blade away from the tip towards the rear wiper motor output shaft end of the arm. See Fig 1.

1 - RELEASE TAB
Slide the rear wiper blade away from the tip of the arm towards the pivot end of the arm far enough to disengage the pivot block from the hook formation on the end of the arm.
Extract the hook formation on the tip of the wiper arm from the opening in the wiper blade superstructure ahead of the wiper blade pivot block/latch unit.
CAUTION: Do not allow the wiper arm to spring back against the liftglass without the wiper blade in place or the glass may be damaged.
Gently lower the wiper arm tip onto the glass.
