How to remove wipers to paint...

Brandon615 · 04-06-2004, 08:58 PM

Have any of you removed the wipers on a 98+? If so, how do you go about doing so? The wipers are faded on my 01 and I want to take them off and repaint them black.

Thanks for any help!

I plan on doing this today on my 95. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks. I'm really surprised I haven't got any responses on this considering everyone who has those custom wiper cowls!

Thats how i did it.. i painted mine white to match the rest of my blazer.. the black plastic cap needs to be pulled towards you so that it comes off... then you just unscrew it and pull the wiper off.

Yup, like digital said, slide it away from the wiper blade then you can lift it off, and the arms just needed to be wiggled loose once the nuts were off.

I'm still in the process of painting, so I'll let you know how that goes.
