great googely moogely old thread, you don't have to remove your wiper arms just take a big piece of cardboard and stick it behind the wiper arms and be careful

 

I didn't know it was such a common problem. I have to do mine too.

 

:shocked:

This is an old arse thread, wow.

Just take your wiper arms off, it only one bolt. Through them on some newspaper and paint bomb the suckers.

 

usually the trim pieces have like 2 screw on the back then pop off...and if you don't want to use a razor to get any overspray off...steel wool works the best

 

i had a simlar problem with my trim on my eg, but it would be faded black, and not so good looking. i popped off the pieces that would come off (to reveal a but load of leaves and crap) and just simply hosed em down, and then painted them with basic black primer, nothing fancy and it did the job great, and if i felt bored, i would use clear coat on em, dont know if i used enough to make a difference though.

 

i tried that one bolt on the wiper arms and nothing moved. i was looking around for someone who has a how-to on the uniwiper just to see if they had the first steps on how to get the wipers off. no dice

 

The wiper arms have some locks on it where it snaps in. When you take the bolt off...take a flat head screw driver, and pry it off. Take your time and be gentle...sometimes you can just wiggle the F*ck out of it until it comes off.

 

thanks. ill give it a shot

 

Yea, you need a flat head to ease it off. I forgot, been a while since I took em off.
