wow great tread you posted but that dont help me at all in how to remove it

 

Most wipers I've seen on any car: You either pry or somehow unclip a little string-loaded metal shield that covers the first 1" or so of the wiper arm down near its base. Under that there should be one nut that you unscrew and the whole wiper arm should slide right up and off the car. It's removing the metal shield that's the tricky part because most people do it a little different from time to time.

 

Did you ever get the wiper off? Yes I realize the date here. But hey if you happen to know , I would be interested as my son has it on his car and we are paining it.

Thanks,
Mike

 

Look around the base of the wiper arm. The front arms have a tab, lift up on the arm and pull the tab out, then they slide right off.

I'd look in the manual, but the rear wiper was gone before my earliest manual.
