Default How to remove wiper blades
How do you pop off the wiper blade from the arm on a 77 Trans Am? Just picked up some new blades. Attached a pic of the blade.

Get a thin flat blade screw driver and wedge it in between the blade and arm, a little twist or pry will pop it out. Its a press fit.

You might want to shoot a little penetrating oil in there as well. It looks a bit corroded, although my old eyes might be deceiving me!

lift one side of arm up and then push in the middle, spring tension keeps those originals on

Many of the replacement arms are to tall to retract under the hood.
