[t32er]

done a surch just bought up loads of "lealing in the footwell" shat and unless i read them all i cant find the answer, (and i know all about the leaks in foot wells, iv done a how to fix it...)
my issue is a water leak BUT its me screen wash,
basicly iv got a leake under the skuttle, when i spray the screen wash, drivers side sprays fine but pas side is week, iv also got a 3rd little spray coming out from under the scut in the middle (not ment to be there) and its pouring out under the car!!
i need the scuttle off to fix it all BUT i cant see how it comes off nore how the wipers are ment to come off, been messing around for a while before givving up, also broken a bit of (no bother though but can do with another one.

2 13mm nuts hold the wipers on, prob need to close the bonnet down a bit to get these off.

Scuttle panel pulls downwards to release then lift over the wiper spindles.

Lift the arms up and turn them.

I had to get a puller off ebay last week as the hose from the drivers to passenger jets had popped off. No way on earth would they have moved if i hadnt got the puller - £8.35! bargain! I'd previously soaked them in WD40 a couple of times, wiggled, pulled, twisted, swore etc etc!

Puller got bloody tight, forced a bit more of a turn, bang, wiper off!

Once the passenger wiper is off you can really get under the panel and see whats what.

is it possable to lift the arm with the bonnet open??

Magi, i think my local odds and sods shop has them in the window... will take a look tomora if im able too

You can't really get them fully up no (no pun intended !).

If you cant get them off without breaking anything, a puller is your best bet. Amazing how much easier a job is with the right tools!

The wipers come off easy I run no wipers in the summer time and rain x on the window undo the nuts lift there is a hinge on the wiper push it towered the windscreen it should pop it off the spindle some are really tight so may need wd40 then lift the arm up and pull towards you
