They might be just a bit stuck.. happens ever so often with 'em. I tried removing mine, couldn't make them move at all. There was a nice write- up a little while ago, but can't remember who wrote it. Try search?

It shouldn't be a hard task, but as said, if your wiper arms are stuck, they really can be very stubborn coming off.

Lift the wiper up, using flat head screw driver to pop out the little metal lock. Then lift up and off. (The little metal lock thing is right on the spindle.)

Yup, I tried to do it exactly that way and it was a no- go. Stuck. Spray a lot of WD40, wait overnight, spray again and pray for the best

What does your cowl cover look like after using that brute force method?
