Wiper arm cover

Anybody install one of these? How much has to come off the car to get this thing on? and where do you secure it too? I love this aftermarket crap that comes with no instructions.

If you mean one of these (http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?p...0&dept_id=1317), it is a very nice one. The other two brands I've had were awful - thin and cheap and didn't look good.

I have the Ecklers one on my 78'. Fit well, looks good.

Actually no need to take the blades off - just turn on the wipers and kill the ignition when the blades are almost vertical, and then slide it down.

i got the lettering outta an Ecklers catologue. the letters are stock on a C5 or C6 valve covers, can't remember what yr though. they're quite resilient, i've had them on for 10yrs at least.
