Windscreen wiper arms — removal and installation (Skoda Favorit)

Removal

1. Before removing the wiper arm, make sure the motor is in the "parked" position. To check, turn the wipers on and then off - the motor should automatically return the wipers to the "parked" position. Attach a piece of tape to the glass near the blade to make it easier to adjust the position of the arm when installing.
