rainx is like a polish that you put on the window and it makes all the water bead straight off so you can see through it better

The shaft connected to the wiper arm sticks a couple of inches out of the window if you don't remove it, so best to get rid! easy to remove it anyway, plus saves a bit of weight

I tried to do this, got nut off but cant get the wiper off, dont wanna pull hard cuz dont wanna break glass and i dont wanna cut the wiper so dont think there is any way around it.

some are very stiff. Mine was easy but i did Stokesy's (mk 2) and wouldnt come off so had to hacksaw the nut. Only took a minute with a junior hacksaw but sometimes you'l have to use the hacksaw if it doesnt budge with penetrating fluid (WD40, GT85 or PlusGas)

myone was really stiff to start with what i did was put some dw-40 on it then turn the wiper on to get it in then it came off a treat!!

Good thinking! That way you get to keep the wiper arm if you wish to return to standard. Hacksaw ftl

I have to replace the wiper I put a lock because I removed the locks from the doors and the trunk..

Well i put some Spray Lubricant on it and couldnt get it off, maybe i should try again tomorrow and also try your method. I want to be able to put it back on for free to.
