I've found some old threads about this, but nothing has helped me.

I know there is four bolts and you have to remove the rear wiper motor to get the inner two bolts, but after that you need to remove the metal arm from the handle and that is where I'm stumped.

It has the metal arm coming up from the latch and the top part is bent 90degrees to the right, it goes straight up through a whole and then the right angles goes right into a retainer clip.

It looks really fragile, and I'm afraid if I pull it from the retainer clip I might snap the part it goes through vertically.

So basically I'm looking for everything after removing the four bolts that hold it in.
