front wiper linkage broken

windycar · May 6, 2015

Hi all, anyone know how to remove the plastic lugs from the fascia covering the wiper linkage and motor please? There's a little hole in the top of each plastic cover but I don't want to force anything in case I break something and have to replace more than I need. Cheers.

I used a self tapping screw, 1/2 screwed in and used a pair of pliars to pull them out. They are then reusable.

(I had to remove mine to get to the heated windshield connections).

Thanks for that, it sounds like a perfect plan.

yep works a treat I find plaster board/decking screws easier , watch out for the wiper arm seals as they get lost easily and ain't too easy to get hold of..

On mine, I pulled out all those plugs only to find that the plastic scuttle cover is in 2 pieces.... I only needed to remove the pegs on the drivers side....... :0(

Thanks for all the tips, I'm sure they'll come in handy tomorrow when I get on with the job.

One of the screw type cup hooks is ideal and easy to pull them out with just your fingers.
