Kenneldogg Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 Trying to remove the rear wiper arm so I can shrink the back glass and can't figure out how to get the arm off. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TintDude Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 I don't know about the Taycan, but most wiper arms come off with a nut at the base. Lift the rear cover like this to expose the nut: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneldogg Posted May 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 Oh I wish it was that easy. One sec and I will add a photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneldogg Posted May 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 tried tapping gently on the end with the nut on but it won't come loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TintDude Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 It's spring loaded so you'll need to wrestle a bit with it. I'd push down on the area going out to the arm and lift from the back at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TintDude Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 Is the motor up against the glass inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneldogg Posted May 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 No there is a little bit of a gap and it has some wiggle which makes me nervous. And I tried putting tension on the arm and that didn't work either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TintDude Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 Is the motor in the way of tinting? If not I'd try to work around it if you give up on the wiper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneldogg Posted May 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 The arm is definitely in the way but it also has a wicked long spoiler that we can't get off too. The motor itself isn't in the way while tinting but we can't shrink the glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TintDude Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 Ah. In that case I'd just prop the arm up off the glass with a racquetball or something else soft that fits like an olfa blade box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
