Removal
Wet the windshield with water.
Turn the windshield wiper on and then off until the wiper arm returns to its original position.
Disconnect the ground cable from the battery.
Attention
- When disconnecting the wires from the battery terminals, the memory units of the control units erase the data on the recorded faults, so before disconnecting the wires, you must contact a workshop to recall the faults recorded in the memory. After connecting the wires to the battery terminals, it is necessary to activate and reprogram the electric windows, as well as the position of the rear-view mirrors and seats.
- If the car has a radio receiver with a code, then before disconnecting the wires from the terminals from the battery, check that there is a code to reactivate the receiver. Otherwise, the radio receiver can only be put into operation at a specialized station.

Using a small screwdriver, remove the cap from the base of the wiper arm.
