How do you remove the rear windshield wiper on a 2001 Rav 4?

To remove the rear window wiper on your 2001 Toyota RAV4:

* Park your vehicle in a safe, well-lit area and apply the parking brake.

* Locate the rear window wiper arm. It is the metal arm that connects the wiper blade to the wiper motor.

* At the base of the wiper arm, you will find a rubber cover or plastic cap (check your owner's manual if needed). Remove this cover or cap.

* Once the cover or cap is removed, you will see a nut or bolt that holds the wiper arm in place. Loosen and remove this nut or bolt.

* If you removed a nut, carefully pry the wiper arm off the splined shaft.

* If you removed a bolt, you can pull the wiper arm straight off of the wiper spindle.

* Lift the wiper blade arm up and off of the vehicle.

_Note: Depending on the year of your RAV 4, the steps might vary slightly. Consult your vehicle owner's manual for specific instructions._
