cowle removal? FunkZ help!

[tkoforpresident]

Basically i have to get to my windshield wiper motor, the wipers stay in the UP position when i turn them OFF and i hear there is a circular disk on top of the motor that often times gets pushed out of position, and i'm going to try to put it back in place. What is the process of taking the arms and cowle off? Funkz i believe u have a write up about this whole mess? could u plz send me a link. Thanks

found this on another post. hope it helps

once you get the arm off by removing the bolt at the wiper base, you need to remove the black plastic retainers in the wiper cowl. If I'm not mistaken, you have to remove all of the black plastic retainers to get the left side up. I had to remove the wiper motor on my camaro. I didn't need a special tool to disconnect anything. If you're trying to remove the linkage from the motor itself, you can use a screw driver and pry it off. Trust me, it wont break. Oh, use wire cutters to gently pull up the centers of the plastic retainers, then remove the retainers and the cowl grilles. Hope this helps!

thanx kristen. one question however, as soon as you get the wipers off and the cowle up, is the metal disk visible? or is it behind something else, do you know which disk i speak of? the one that i believe is out of place or got turned around....
