Default Wiper arm removal

I need to take off my wiper arms and I don't see any "cap" on the arm to reveal the nut. Everything I have read in the search section says to remove the cap......am I missing something here? I have a 2008 coupe.

Once you have the cap removed and the nut all but a couple of threads from off, you may have to use a two arm puller to pop the wiper loose.
