How to open the cover of windshield wiper
Hi all,
(1996 E320) I need to remove the plastic part under the cover of windshield wiper, that is one piece completely extends from fender to fender (from A to B in the picture); besides at the each far end there is a rivet R (not a screw) holding it down. I am intending to cut the rivets with a Dremmel but in the center the part is stll held down by sleeve of the wiper housing.  So the primary issue is to remove the wiper housing, any idea? I don't see any screw and have tried to carefully pry the cover but to no avail. Thanks!

Tex, from what I've read the wiper arm needs to be moved to the vertical position to remove the cover, then the arm itself. You may want to try a 'Search' for details. I suspect once you get the cover removed things will be self-explanatory. Let me recommend you take lots of pictures during the disassembly process as reference information for the reassembly.
