Had this problem too, put the wiper arm up, get your fingers under the part that bolts down and keep going, eventually it will prise off, if this fails, try very gentley with something that will leaver it up!

I gave my wiper arm a light tap with a rubber mallet around where the nut came off. Mine was solid and wouldnt pry off at all. After a couple of taps it just popped off  :cool:
Just dont put your window thru :nerd:

My wiper stuck, I just kept wiggling it, the motor fell off and I caught it just before it mashed my bumper  :smiley:

got the wiper off by unscrewing the motor and hammering on the nozzle and pulling the wiper arm  :grin: so scared of slipping and doing my window in!!

used auto glym super resin polish and still looks the same  :angry:
