I want to remove my rear wiper arm to sand it down and give it a nice coat of paint. How is it removed?

I've painted mine twice now, and i cant remember how i removed it. I'm sure somone else will answer before i remember. But if not i'll post when i remember how it comes off.

the arm where it attaches to the motor has a plastic hinged cap...it will likely be stiff, pry it up and then theres a nut underneath.

Once the arm comes off, you got this goofy looking nub sticking out. Is there any way to remove that. I'd assume there'd be a hole in the glass where you take it out, but Im just curious if anyone has done that

well, there is an access "panel" on the inside of the hatch that is held in place with several gromis....id take a look under there to see if it can be removed.....

yes the rear wiper motor can be removed. Some of the MX-3s did not come with the rear wiper/wiper motor. The only thing you will have to worry about is finding a plug that will seal that hole in the glass properly.

Well, I dont want to remove the the whole system...besides, the wiper arm must be removed before taking the motor system out, I'm sure the wiper won't fit through that hole.
