Removing Driver's side Wiper adjusting plate?

[RDR-EURO]

Hi guys, I am going to be replacing my lower windshield plastic trim with a new one. But I cannot remove the driver's side wiper adjusting plate mounted right under the wiper arm when you remove the wiper arm? I try using a wiper puller, but it doesnt work. Is there any other way to remove it?

Thanks.

yeah. mine was very hard to remove too. i had to take it off when i replaced my windshield. lube it with WD40, apply upward pressure with left hand while twisting it, and tap it with a hammer from the top with the other hand. the vibrations will get it loose. my passanger arm broke in half, so i got another one...
hope that helps a bit.

Thanks I will try to do this later. Lucky my passenger side went without breaking it in half. But it was a pain to take out also.

I actually just did this the other day. They were looking kind of old so i bought some spray paint. $5 and put a couple coats of that on them. After taking them all off. They look brand new. Wasn't sure if yours were broke or this was a reason for the replacement. If so try it out and save the money. But back to the question, all you need to do is wiggle it around a little bit and it will come loose just don't force it and brake something.
