06 Civic wiper cover
Why did they have to make this so difficult, just to change the wiper
inserts? I can change the insert on a GM vehicle (especially if it's equipped with Anco blades) in about 30 seconds in pitch darkness. On this Civic, brand new (almost), it became quite a challenge. Removing the cover shown here was a serious PITA: http://www.cycleorings.com/wiper.jpg You can squeeze those two tabs all you like, but the cover won't pull straight out without being pried. I think the way to go is to warm the cover somehow. I got one off through various forms of coercion, but the second one broke on me. I could pretty much feel it happening, but there weren't many options. Maybe if I left the car in the sunlight for an hour or so, or perhaps warm up the cover with a hair dryer for about 15 minutes before applying force? Does anyone have any quick tips on how to get these damned little things off without breaking them? |
