How to Remove the Rear Wiper of Buick Excelle XT?

[LeBenjamin]

Here are the steps to remove the rear wiper of the Buick Excelle XT: 1. First, remove the wiper cover. After removing the cover, use a wrench to unscrew the nut, then gently wiggle the wiper up and down to detach it. 2. When removing the Excelle XT wiper, apply a bit of force to pull it off. 3. The rear wiper is fixed to the spindle with screws and mainly consists of three parts: the protective cover, the wiper arm, and the wiper blade. Below is more information about wipers: (1) The wiper system is one of the main safety devices in a car, capable of clearing raindrops and snowflakes from the windshield during rain or snow. (2) When driving on muddy roads, it scrapes off the mud splashed onto the windshield, ensuring the driver's visibility and vehicle safety. (3) If there are foreign objects like branches, dry leaves, bird droppings, or dirt on the windshield, clean them before activating the wipers to avoid damaging the rubber blade edge. (4) The wiper blades in the system are wear-and-tear items that gradually degrade over time. The recommended replacement frequency is every 3-6 months.

I remember last time helping my friend remove the rear wiper on his Buick Excelle XT, it was actually quite simple. First, locate the mounting point of the rear wiper arm, usually under the rear windshield covered by a plastic cap. Gently pry open the cap with a small pry tool or flathead screwdriver, being careful not to scratch the paint. Then, use an appropriately sized wrench (most commonly 10mm) to loosen the nut inside. After removing the nut, the wiper arm might be a bit tight—wiggle it a few times to pull it off. If it's stuck, don't force it; spray some lubricant and wait a moment. After removal, check the wiper blade for wear—if it's worn out, replace it. The whole process takes about ten minutes, but remember to wear gloves for protection and avoid dropping tools in the car. Also, clean this area regularly during car washes to prevent dirt buildup from affecting operation.
