Wiper Arm: Removal: Front

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Lift the front wiper arm to its over-center position to hold the wiper blade off of the glass and relieve the spring tension on the wiper arm to wiper pivot shaft connection.

Carefully pry the plastic nut cap off of the pivot end of the wiper arm. See Fig 1.
