the rear windshield arm is seized on my x type wagon, How do I remove it from the rear window of the wagon without breaking the glass?
thanks
The motor turns so the issue is the seized arm
thanks

The cover over the area where it pivots will open up and there is a nut beneath it. Remove the nut and soak the stud with penetrating oil. Use a 2 jaw puller and remove the arm from the stud.

 

Google or search eBay for "Wiper Arm Removal Tool". You'll find a ~$10 tool for pulling wiper arms off the motor shaft.

Here's one eBay listing: Windscreen Window Wiper Arm Removal Remover Tool Glass Mechanics Puller Car | eBay

Use a little PB Blaster or WD40, tighten the puller on the wiper arm, then tap it gently a few times and the arm will pop off the tapered motor shaft.

 

Pretty cool looking tool. Gotta get one of them.

 

Yes, and well worth the ~$10 investment. At first, I tried a 2 jaw puller, but the jaws are too beefy to fit the narrow gap under the wiper arm. This wiper removal tool has a thin foot which slides easily under the wiper arm.
