JD-33 Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Hi all,, I am trying to get my wipers off my 97 gtst ... i undid the nut under the little black rubber cap and have been trying to pull the biatch off for like 15 mins now... I cant see it held on with any other nut or bolt.. correct me if i am wrong.. Reason I wanna remove them is to give them a fresh paint (as they are badly faded).. Any help thanks... -JD Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/111114-how-to-remove-wipers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Italy! Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Mine are looking kinda dull too, might be time to give mine a new lick of paint too. However i'll wait for some responses to this question before i bother facing the heat outside and giving it a shot Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/111114-how-to-remove-wipers/#findComment-2048474 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help thanks... -JD yep just one nut, you will probably have to lever them off with a a screwdriver as they have probably never be off from the factory. spray the shaft with some WD40 and let it soak in a little, the do tend to bind to the shaft Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/111114-how-to-remove-wipers/#findComment-2048498 Share on other sites More sharing options...

R33TOM Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 (edited) lol pshht thats what i thought when i got mine, no rear wiper, i wanted one as well, when its raining hard you cant see shit through the rear windscreen, the rear wiper is an option for series II's for some stupid reason, while series 1's had them standard, well in a good way its less weight for the car Edited March 26, 2006 by R33TOM Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/111114-how-to-remove-wipers/#findComment-2049403 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WazR32GTSt Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 you suckers! stop pulling them so hard!!! to take them off: - undo the nut that holds them - press down on the join in the wiper closest to the nut .. you will find that the spring gives way and you can hold the wiper horizontal - take the wiper off with ease cheers, Warren Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/111114-how-to-remove-wipers/#findComment-2049611 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WazR32GTSt Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 when i did my wipers i used touch up paint in the same colour as my car I humg them in the garage from a piece of string and laid down newspaper for any overspray. then i gave them about 5 or 6 coats of paint... really ut that shit on there. its now been about a year and no sign of fading or cracking JD_33 - trust me you will be kicking yourself when you see how easy they come off.. i only say this as i was in the same situation, swearing etc. and my dad walked outside and took them off in one second!

Duncan Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 removing the rear wiper is easy 1/ lift up cover and undo bolt holding arm in place 2/ Put big socket on nut (23mm from memory) and use breaker bar 3/ Replace rear windscreen Here is a pic to help explain Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/111114-how-to-remove-wipers/#findComment-2055696 Share on other sites More sharing options...
