2. Using a 12mm Ratchet13mm socket and ratchet, remove the nut holding the wiper assembly in place.
   Note: At this point it's a good idea to use a permanent marker to mark the spindle and wiper arm to allow for easier re-installation in the future.
   
   
3. Remove the wiper arm, sometimes on older vehicles a small puller can be a big help.
   Note: Be very careful that you don't not to break the windshield prying wiper if you choose to pry against the glass or letting by allowing the arm to snap down quickly.  The one used in the picture We chose to use a tool like this which is a Lisle Tool 54150 Battery Terminal/Wiper Arm puller.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Flipping over to the inside remove Remove the strings connecting on each side holding the package tray to the rear hatchup.

Installing the COBB Rear Wiper Delete

1. Using a 13mm socket run the plastic nut down the threads on the delete and then remove, this is to loosen the threads a little bit to make getting it started by hand a little bit easier.
   
   
   
   
   
2. Clean the rear glass on the outside to improve the quality of the seal.
   
   
3. Install the o-ring into the wiper delete (a small amount of silicone lubricant on the o-ring can ensure a tighter seal later.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Install the small end of the rubber bumpers into the hold down bar.
   
       
   
   
5. Next up you'll slide the appropriate rubber washer on to the threads.  This helps eat up the space between the delete and the glass and makes it easier to keep centered.  For the Mazdaspeed Focus ST you'll use the largest one.
   
   
   
   
   
6. Holding the delete in place with one hand, get the bar on the back with the flat side of the bumpers towards the glass, and start slowly tightening the nut.

7. Once it's close to tight, get the logo angled to your liking and tighten it down using the socket in your hand, DO NOT USE A RATCHET.  Tightening more can make it look more flush but be careful not to over-tighten or it can shatter the glass.

8. Once you're happy with the angle and it's tight, you can zip tie up the wiring so it doesn't rattle.

10. You're all done!  Go out and enjoy!
