Can anyone tell me the best tool to get those off? I have tried a small “windscreen wiper puller” but it’s not man enough.

When I removed mine I used a 3 fingered puller (small) I soaked it for a couple of days in WD40 as I was working on It and I had no worries with getting them off.

You need to get the puller tips as far in as possible, pulling on the outer edges only flexes the washer which causes it to lock up on the spindle. try tapping a deep socket over the spindle to percussively release the washer. Just.... don't hit it too hard. |

So I'm guessing at this stage you have windscreen fitted...did the auto lights and rain sensor work on the aftermarket screen? |

had same problem, got. call during the fitting, 'cant get wipers off' I asked them to spray them, and wait a while. they said they'd try without taking them off. so they sort of wrestled the black moulding away enough to do it. so, they are still stuck on! but I got a Pilkington, and the job went very well. I just reminded myself I need a few of the black clips that hold it down. anyone got the part number I need to look for?

I hope you get something done about that and they look after you.

Autoglass turned up with an expert, took a look at it. Smiled, undid the sensor assembly and stuck it back together….and to my surprise it all worked. Apparently they had not connected the sensor to the windscreen the first time, just the mount!
