my old blades were worn out and the metal wiper thing that holds them was getting all chiped and looked bad so i bought a whole new wiper things and i can't for the life of me get the old ones off. i can get it to slide down, but getting it off is a whole new problem. the only way i can see to do it is to break the d@mn thing off, which is what i will do if no one replies :D anyone know how to take it off?

It was a major pain for me to change mine. I got mine off no problem, but I didn't pay much attention and when I went to put the new ones on I noticed they were a little different. Just be patient & you'll figure it out. Good Luck!

You may have the wrong blades. F-bodies use a specialty blade. Look for Anco #22-24.
You can achieve anything for which you are prepared to pay the price.<br /> --ATTILA THE HUN
Look closely at where the arm is attached to the blade assembly. Mine had a little plastic thing that looked sort of like a release button, I pushed it and pushed the blade assembly away from me and it came off easily. Before, mine missed a spots in the lower left corner of the window and it was partially in the drivers view, so I bought the replacement Anco assembly (because Autozone told me they didn't make refills for the factory ones) and the wipers don't miss any spots any more. These things were $12 each I think, which is plenty for a stupid wiper, but it works much better. And most places carry refills for the Anco wipers.
lol, all right, for anyone who wants to do this in the future, the little plastic piece that goes inside the u bend comes off and the wiper slides off, there's no need to take the bolt cutters to it and hack it into three pieces, tho that does work [img]tongue.gif[/img]

It's easy...wherever you go to get the new wipers, ask them to put them on for free! I know Advance does it for EVERY customer (I work there), and have heard Autozone does too. Those people change them every day and won't break them, get them to do it. The older F-bodies have a reverse hook thing...it takes a certain blade to go back on right. Available at most parts stores.
