How do you unclip a rear wiper blade?

Everything that doesn't belong in the previous categories probably belongs here. Interiour (how are the seats mounted? how to remove the CEM?) and exteriour (how to replace the popup-lights shock absorbers or a door) are discussed here!

How do you unclip a rear wiper blade?

Hi,

Underneath the long cover on a rear wiper blade are two rectangular clips which hold the arm in position. How do you undo these so that you can remove the blade to change it. I just broke one !!

I had to do the same thing before

And I managed to get the blade out by using a bit of force (pulling to your right if I remember correctly...)

"Release the clips on the underside of the cover.Put your thumbs on the outside of the cover whilst unclipping the clips either side of the blade.Do this just two at a time,working your way along the cover.Then the cover needs to be pulled round at 90 degrees like a hinge movement to lift away from the spindle"

Hope that make sense to you!
