[DeTomaso] 1974 L Model Wipers

[Mike Drew]

Dennis,

There's no trick. You're doing it right, you're just not trying hard enough. :)

Is there a reason (other than aesthetics) you are trying to remove them?

Bringing the arms up off the glass I can see that there is a silver clip of some sort on the underside. I've tried to press it with a screwdriver and pull it with a hook, but neither has been successful.
