Hi,

This question makes me feel like an idiot.but I really need an answer.

On my Dads 1985 Mercury Grand Marquis we needed to change the rubber on
the drivers side wiper. The local stores do not sell the rubber
replacements any more so I picked up the entire head assembly from
Wal-mart.

However we could not find any sort of clip holding the original wiper
to the pin. There is what seems to be a small washer with tabs but no
apparent way to remove it.

Any suggestions.     ?

I removed the rubber from the new unit and replaced it on the car so we
are good for a while.

regards
