Thanks for the info, ,mine is falling apart and I've been putting off replacing it because I wasn't sure how to do it. Glad I found this forum.

awesome tutorial! I did this today, and it was a piece of cake.

I'm new here...just bought my Black 07 HHR LT last week.

Just don't do what I did-I managed to mangle the retainer clip BEFORE I got out of the arm and it took a few minutes of digging at it before the remnants popped out of the arm.

Oops!

Well, I followed instructions and pulled - and broke off the end of the wiper arm mount! I put the arm back on without the end (I ended up replacing the insert from my replacement blade and not the arm anyway, after all that) and it seems to be stable. Has anyone else knocked the end off? Does anyone have a spare one to sell?

I did this a couple of months ago. Rob sent me a viper.
I knew the process in general and the problem did not arise.
But there's more. Devil viper does not wash a window evenly. On the right is an elongated spot, which disappears no at once, just after 8 - 10 cycles.
This spot appears in the upper end of the viper. Strange .. Viper's body clears the pure and just, viper's end, too efficient, but at one point viper slightly pressed against to glass - it annoys me.
At first I thought - the old viper spoiled and inefficient. But the new viper is not much better.
If you do not have this - it means God decided to torment me.

What did you do with your amputated arm?

There are lots of people who have deleted their rear wipers. Does anyone have a rear wiper arm available from this?

I bought the replacement Trico but wasn't too crazy about the way it looked. I reckoned that the Trico blade would downgrade the car because it is not covered like the original. ( I have another GM car and aftermarket stuff looks corny on it too)
I just trimmed 1/4 inch off and inserted the guts into the old arm off of the new Trico....works!
