The wipers themselves?

Easy.

There's a little clip under the wiper arm. Follow the wiper arm back until it curves underneath, and look fo rit. Push it and it slides right out.

yeah, there are no screws. You need to push (sometimes pull) small plastick lock and push wiper blade towards the windshield. But before that you need to turn wiper blade so that it will form T letter (blade with wiper arm).

i have never replaced the arms. i just replace the blades. i like the stock ones that came with mine, all the new ones look funny to me. i know its not much of a difference but i notice.

I've had mine off for about 2 months now, and I think it looks soooo much better without them.

I just recently found out that it's illegal to not have any on your car. Makes sense, but it looks so much better.

^^^^ oooh ok redz..lol

there is one bolt holding each one on. the passenger one has a plastic clip cover that comes off to get to the bolt. the driver side just has an open bolt if you open the hood.
