Hello,

I must say I am a little embarassed asking aout this
in a place that's full of tech/gearheads....but I am stumped.

I need to replace the wipers on my 98 RS
and I can't figure out how to get the old ones off.

The current passenger blade has started to tear
and is squeaking as it wipes so I need to get ths done soon.

I checked the manual and it simply does not look
like what is on my car. Plus, it has instructions for
replacing the only rubber squeegee piece, not the enitre
blade & holder (which I have). The instructions on the blades
(rain-X 21" & 18") have diagrams, but once again,
it doesn't look anything like what's on my car.

I have noticed a little "latch"-type thing at the pivot
point of the arm and the blade/holder. But pushing/pulling it doesn't seem to have any affect. And I don't want to be too forcefull and break something. I figure there must be something
VERY simple that I am overlooking....

SO....if anyone could help me out and guide me through what I
need to do to get the old ones off and get the new ones on,
I'd REALLY appreiate it.

thanks

 

there should be a tab you have to push in the center of the pivot
point.then pull it off.
lift,pivot,push tab,pull off,and replace.

 

Thanks for the reply.

I finally broke down and went to an oil change
place and asked the guy therefor some help.... he did it just like you decribed...

I WAS pressing the tab and trying ALL KINDS of ways to get that sucker off...but with no success...he made it look SOOOOO simple & easy....which it IS....but for some reason it just would NOT
come off for me....oh well...problem solved...thanks again for
your help!!
