i tried to take the rear wiper off my saxo 2day and i turned out i have to buy a bloody new window. i disconnected the motor and then i took the wiper arm off. these came off handy enough with a bit of oil. then i tried to slide the motor out and shattered the whole window. these can be in pretty tight. its just a warning to other saxo owners that you need to take as much care as possible or end up paying £110 to dewiper your car. i could of thought of a whole lot of other ways to spend that money.

Just buy it from there, pay for the puller, then use the puller on yours then go back to the scrappy if its close or just stick it on here or ebay smileys/smiley4.gif

Unlucky that mate!

The device you need is called a 3-leg puller! It disperses the weight over the window

Ive broken a mates window doing it once, was really quite painful considering I had to pay for it smileys/smiley24.gif
