C2 wiper blades removal
I’ve searched like nuts and everything says the same thing. Pull up on tab, slide blade off. Nope. Plastic tab breaks off - blade will not come off. These are original Trico stainless blades. It appears to not have the hook but instead is flat. WTF.
Can somebody tag Frankie the Fink? I can’t seem to make that work either |

Pull up on tab, start to slide off, might have to rotate before going the rest of the way
Just a wag. |

Are you trying to take off the SS arm or just the rubbers?

If you're putting on repro rubber, get the good stuff (with the rubber dots) or else the size will be an issue. A close up pic of the tab/hook you are fighting with would help.
The rubber should slide up through the arms metal tabs until they "lock" into place. BE SURE they are installed correctly before use; if that rubber comes loose, you'll scratch your windshield for sure and never run wipers on dry glass. Original arms should have a large regular screw to adjust horizontal angle and the PS wiper goes over the DS. DS is 1" above windshield SS molding and PS is 1" above the DS wiper.

Yeah, when I replace the inserts I check the rubber at least 10 times before using ...paranoid about scratching the windshield.

Yes. I did. But all advice this far is the same. Doesn’t work. I’ll post some pics. I did get them apart but not the way the videos show.
I’m replacing the rubber and the “housing” or whatever it’s called that holds the rubber part. The wiper arms don’t have the j hook. They are flat with a hole in them that clips into the stainless blade holder. Pics to follow. |
