So I wanted to paint my wiper arms and plastic louvre and clean up a little so thought I would make a DIY on how to remove these things as they can seem tricky, but really its quite simple.
So here we have a faded plastic louvre (pretty sure thats what its called) and some wipers
First off, mark where your wipers used to sit incase the wipers are moved or the wiper gears are moved. I used masking tape to mark mine
Remove the 14mm nut from each wiper arm, bend the wiper arm up like so and simply jiggle and lift off the arm
Remove the rubber boots from each side, remember how they go because they can be fiddly to put back in.
unclip the wiring loom from the plastic cover. It simply slides out
Remove the 3 plastic clips which look like this
Circled are where they are located
Now that is done, simply pop off the cover, there are a number of clips holding it down at the back so a bit of force is needed. Once removed you will see this
It will split into 2 pieces so don't think you've snapped it lol!
The rubber seal comes, flip it over and you will find all these little clips which will pop out
ohhhh cabin filter there you are!
9 years of dirt
all gone
Cleaned
Painted and put back together!
Thankyou
