    How Do I Get It Off?

    No, actually I forgot i was in the need for speed forum, not the body work forum. But i wanted to take the arm off to repaint it, i figured it been easier to take it off than to tape everything up. I could just leave it off and i might get an extra 5mph top speed though, along with a coffee-can...

    How Do I Get It Off?

    This May Be A Stupid Question, But On A 95 Ex Sport, How Do I Get The Rear Wiper Off? It Doesn't Come Off The Same As The Front Ones. I Thought Maybe It Might Just Pull Straight Off, But I Was Worried About Breaking It.
