I'm trying to get the winshield wiper arms off so that I can get the cover off that houses the motor linkage. (The motors working but the wipers don't move.)I'm affraid that I'll crack the windshield if I keep prying up under the arm. Is there a clip or something that I need to take off before I pry up on the assembly?

1996 Pivot Arm, Removal and Installation
1. Note: To prevent glass and/or paint damage, do not pry windshield wiper arm from windshield wiper mounting arm and pivot shaft with metal or sharp tool.
Raise the windshield wiper blade end of the windshield wiper arm off of the windshield.
2. Move the slide latch away from the windshield wiper mounting arm and pivot shaft and slowly lower the arm onto the latch. This will unlock the windshield wiper pivot arm from the windshield wiper mounting arm and pivot shaft and hold the windshield wiper blade end of the windshield wiper pivot arm off of the glass at the same time.
3. Pull windshield wiper pivot arm off of the windshield wiper mounting arm and pivot shaft without the aid of any tools.
4. To install, align the keyway on the windshield wiper mounting arm and pivot shaft with the windshield wiper pivot arm.
5. Push windshield wiper pivot arm onto windshield wiper mounting arm and pivot shaft. Make sure the windshield wiper mounting arm and pivot shafts are in PARK position.
6. While applying downward pressure on the windshield wiper pivot arm head to ensure full seating, raise the other end of the windshield wiper pivot arm sufficiently to allow the latch to slide under windshield wiper mounting arm and pivot shafts to the latched position using finger pressure only to slide latch.
7. Lower the windshield wiper blade to the windshield. If the windshield wiper blade does not touch the windshield, the slide latch is not completely in place.
