T31 Wiper Removal
Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone has removed the wiper arms off their T31...for the life of me I cant get the cover off to get to the nut. Does anyone have any ideas?
The reason for the removal is to clean out debris around where the arm bolts on as I have noticed that some of the paint has been removed as the arm is rubbing on the debris. Which is also why I think the arm is shuttering (very slightly) when used.
I was wanting to remove the complete fascia and some how fill the gap so that no more debris can get there. I was thinking of using some silicone although I don't think that silicone will flex that much, so am open to suggestions
thanks
Samuel

Re:
Just a good hose on jet nozzle will clean all the gunk from those spaces behind the wiper arm Samuel.
Works for me every time.
The covers pull up and off as Matt said, If you have the ESM its on page WW110.

Re:
thanks I'll have another try.
Dont ask me how or why, but between the fascia and the front windscreen there is upto 1mm gap which also adds to the debris getting in there. Does anyone else have this issue?
I was thinking of running a bead of silicone there to try and stop the debris getting in there
