Does anyone have experience changing the wipers on a 2001-2005 Honda Civic? Can't seem to get mine off the arm even after reading the manual.

TAKE IT TO THE DEALER!

if you're looking to replace the blades then lift the wiper arm up off of the windshield so that it stands up on the pivot. then flip the wiper blad over so that the rubber insert is facing upward.look at the wiper arm that hold the blade. you'll see the end of the arm looks like a hook ( J. ) push the wiper blade down the wiper arm (towards the windshield) until the wiper blade detatches from the hook. then move the wiper blade to the full side of the gap in the blade so that the hook slides through the opening and the blade is free from the arm.once you do one you'll get the hang of it.pay attention to the orientation of the blade when you remove it so that you can put the new one on the same way.by the way, its much less expensive to change the inserts (just the rubber that goes inside the metal blade). Honda dealers will usually put the inserts on at no charge if you buy the inserts from themhope that helps
