OK, this is probably easy, but for some reason I can not figure out how to get the wiper arm to lift up so that I can replace the wiper blade. What's the trick?

 

Turn the wipers on then stop them when they are up

 

Right, but they still only pull away from the windshield about 2-3 inches. Not enough to remove.

 

raise the hood

 

I've tried it raising the hood, but hit the edge of it too many times.

My best luck has been to run them until they're up, then turn the car off. Yes, you only get 2-3 inches, but you only need enough height to slide it off.

The key is that you're not trying to slide the hook of the wiper arm over the top of the wiper blade and remove it in one motion. Push the tab in, and pull the blade with the far end pointed up slightly. Once you've cleared the hook, raise the arm and slide the wiper off.

 

What do you need wipers for. My sc never has seen rain yet alone snow.LOL

 

^^^^^1, when I update to a 2006, yours is the kind of car I'm looking for my friend !!

 

Buddy, I guess when it rains you take one of your bikes out just to save the blades!!!!
Kinda chilly and wet to be ridin' for me. But then that's me!
