[DeTomaso] 1974 L Model Wipers

[Carguy60]

Mike,
Just aesthetics. They ride kind of high in the field of view from the cockpit and I did snag one once when removing the cover. 

I thought about pulling harder but didn't want to risk damage not knowing if it was the correct way.

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.
