Windshield wiper arm question
I just had my windshield replaced and changed the windshield wiper blades, but now the driver's side blade f**** up and gets caught against the glass from the arm. How exactly do you remove the actual arm that holds the blade. I saw the windshield guy do it and he said something about the driver's side arm being "bent" somewhere, which most probably is causing the prob. It looked like it just snapped out of the **** below the windshield, but trying proved something else and I didn't want to force it lest something truly bent. Around the arm end where it screws in there's three bolts, but I didn't check if the guy had them out at the time. Also, how much would the driver's side arm run at a dealer if anyone knows(I was told its he only place to find one). TiA

Look for a little "tab" on one side of the wiper arm, pry it out as you lift straight up on the arm to free it from the actuator stub. You may have to wiggle the arm to free it up; maybe this is why the one are is now bent.

TY. I'll try it. It probably was that f**** windshield installer who already had em off when I looked at em.
that a bent arm is the most likely cause.
