Stock Wiper Removal
Remove the cap covering the wiper attachment
Using a 13mm socket remove the nut retaining the wiper arm.
Note: now is a good time to mark the position of the spindle and wiper arm to make re-installation easier in the future.Remove the wiper arm, sometimes on older vehicles a small puller can be a big help.
Note: Be very careful not to break the windshield wiper if you choose to pry against the glass or by allowing the arm to snap down quickly. We chose to use a tool like this which is a Lisle Tool 54150 Battery Terminal/Wiper Arm puller.Remove the strings holding the rear package shelf up.
Remove the two T20 screws hidden in the depressions on either side.
Using your trim tool and working carefully from the center, slowly work the panel off the car. The trim clips are pretty long and quite strong so it can be pretty tough to remove.
Unhook the wiring from the motor by pressing down on the tab to release the connector.
Using a 10mm socket unbolt the motor from your rear hatch and remove it from the car.
Using your fingers push out the grommet from the inside.
