If you mean to be able to pull the arm further away to make it easy to clean when you are washing then here you go. Click on each pic in this thread to see an enlargement of it.

Thanks for the link to the mod! 
Looks super sweet n fast to pull it off(the mod)
Always hated the lack of "pull back" room a original wiper arm gave ('specially now i got a vehicle that went back to the full flip up front wipers arms
)
Gonna try the mod tomorrow,
Thanks!

Thanx...
I will take off the wiper eventually, but need to find a cap or something to fill it in.. I do have a backup camera, so that may go in there... Just need to get a monitor up front first...

Back to the arm cover mod, when i had the SS in the garage i did the mod. It went well, and easy. The only reason i see for having it be "held" by the now removed tab in the cover was prob to keep the arm from possibly flying away from the window at highway speeds/hi wind scenarios. Will keep a eye on it in the future and see if that happens, and like was mentioned a new cover from the dealership is not all that much $$ in case i feel the need to put it back as -was.
I trimmed a lil at a time in case it was possible to allow the arm to come away depending on how much was removed, but that was not the case, it all had to be taken off to get the full end result.
(gonna pass this mod along to my non forum reading- HHR owning friends )
