Rear Wiper Removal
Pop off the wiper spindle cover.
Using a 10mm 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.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.Now you can go ahead and remove the side panels by pulling upwards on the panel gently and working it free.
Pop open the trim on the door handle and remove the two Phillips screws.
Gently lift up the weather stripping on the bottom of the door to reveal the four trim clips that need to get pulled out.
Work around the sides slowly to pop the hidden clips holding the main trim panel to the car and remove it from the car
Unplug the harness from the wiper motor by gently pulling up on the tab with a small pick.
Using a 10mm socket remove the 3 bolts holding the wiper motor to the car and remove the entire assembly.
Using your fingers carefully remove the grommet from the glass.
