Dumb question. Wiper Blade

[Y'allirs]

Howdy y'all. I'm new here and I'm completely enjoying my 2013 Yaris 3DR LE. But a dumb question. I have the model that has a single front wiper blade and it has gone bad. I bought a new one, but I can't get the old one off. Normally it's a simple turn and pull down. :iono:But it aint happening.:iono: Any help would be great.

According to the service manual you pop the little cover by the mounting arm, release the blade assembly from the arm, and then pull the blade straight off the end.

yeah, our's have a little lever you pull up, and then it just comes out. FYI......No wipers anywhere that I have found are the same length as the OEM one. Keep the wiper and buy a blade replacement and replace just the rubber portion, because the extra wipe clearance and the look of the OEM one are superb :p

Thanks for the help. I'll try it out.

I like the single wiper in front with the bus like swiveling action. I wonder if the swiveling action were to freeze up with a lot of ice on it, would it break when you turn it on ? Or maybe the wiper motor would fail. Anyone had that problem ? I would imagine the best thing to do is to cover that up at night during an ice storm.
