Question
Hi Grant, Thanks again for your response, it was very helpful. My follow - up question is how do you remove the wiper blades? My car is a 1996 Pontiac Grand Am. Thanks.  

Answer
Hi Rossana

There are a couple of different wiper blade mounts. You will need a small screwdriver. Bayonet type mouts have a small round pin that goes right through the wiper, if you look through the center of the wiper you should see a small spring. Press down on the spring with the screwdriver and slide the wiper off. the other popular mount is a hook type, on the short side of the hook is a small lever. Pry the lever and slide the wiper down the arm, then pull it off.

Hope this helps, Grant
