[DeTomaso] Removing Wiper Arm

Hmmm.  Raising the arms to unlock the tab would be very useful, but mine
don't seem to work that way.  And as you mentioned, it's almost impossible
to select the right spline that lines up the arms in the perfect park
position the first time.  I end up doing that several times before the
wipers park correctly.

I don't know if mine are different than the others described below, but:
If you lift the wiper blade and arm up about a foot the wiper arm will lock
up extracting the release tab.  They then slide off the splined shaft.  The
reverse is true for the reinstallation.  The indexing can sometimes be
tricky because I have trouble getting the correct alignment on the spline
with the wiper blade sticking up in the air.  Once I return the blade and
arm to the windshield sometimes I have to pop it back up and readjust it on
the spline.

YMMV.
