Hey anyone know any good fixes on Wiper arms that are starting to rust? Is it possible to spray them black again or better off buying new ones? Thanks
Well mine was rusting a little where they bend and they were faded alot. I just took them off. Lightly sanded the rust spots and used steel wool and rubbed them down. Cleaned them up, sprayed them gloss black and when they dried they looked like new again.

How difficult are they to remove?
Not hard. There is a bolt covered by a small cap. Take it off and its right there, only thing holding it on.
Little hard (Mine were anyway) just take the plastic caps off and take off the nut and grab the arm and wiggle it a bit and pull at the same time.

Also should mention it is best on ours if you push down on the area the wiper pivots to release tension on the threaded rod as well during the pull/pushing. comes off real easy
Yup, push half way down on the arm, you'll feel the wiper want to go towards the window. Then use your other hand to pull straight up at the wiper arm pivot to remove the wiper. Easy as pie
