So I tried the grease cleanup a second time, but used cotton ear buds to get into the edges - 9 months on and after the wettest summer in decades all is well in the wiper department
few thanks ranski good to know that i wont be wasting my time. Got to fit my new old alloys this weekend as well......
My little blue zed is in lots of bits. With lots of things started and not many finished! I may have found the limits of my time and ability!!

I had the same issue - keep in 'wiggling' them - they will eventually come off

I got them literally the attempt after posting that message, once I could see how they joined, the other came of first time (with very generous amounts of WD40).

I did manage to loose two plastic clip screws and smash 3 of the clips on the userside of the plastic cover, such brittle plastic. Then again it wsnt exactly warm.... :s
