Windshield Wiper Arm Replacement?

Edit: For all future readers, this is fixed by tracing the tube down to the base and removing them by pulling firmly, separating the tubing without dissembling the whole grille portion.

I am trying to replace my windshield wiper arms. I managed to replace the arms, but I don't know how to replace the tubes connecting to the washer reservoir.
What do I do to fix this?

Re: Windshield Wiper Arm Replacement?

Are you talking about the rubber tubes that transfer the fluid?

If so bring a small amount to an auto parts store and get a few feet in bulk. Should be cheap.

I have new arms to install, and the tubing is attached to the old ones. I'm asking how I remove the grille/plate to get to where the tubing runs, under the arms.. unless there's a way to do it without removing the grille or plate.

Yes, at the time that was the part I was talking about... but I've since edited the OP with updated information.

Thank you for responding!
