Thanks to the both of you. Worked exactly like you both said. Used a pair of pliers and wiggled them right off... I swear I thought it had something to do with the metal tabs and I was worried I'd pull the whole things off stud included. Just got a new windshield installed so I needed a new set...

Seems so easy but damned if I can get the thing off to replace with a new arm. Pic 1 and 2 shows the original wiper in place Pic 3 is the replacement. U can see a little piece of metal that looks like you would press down on it to remove. The originals do not have it. Any thoughts would be...

Here she is topless after a coat of wax.

Started to rain before I could get a coat of wax on but here she is today after a bath and lambskin wipe down.

Messed up the order but here are some more...

So the weld shop said no way. They said 3 hours minimum, but said the metal was too thin and they did not want to take the responsibility. So, I did it the old fashioned way... I blasted the inside of the cover with about 25lbs of sand to get all the rust flakes out. I filled the holes with JD...

I've seen the product in some of the Jeep mags but never looked very closely. Will def take a look. Thanks for your input.

Yes I did! I thought for sure they would be able to help but no go either. I went to the local salvage yard yesterday as well and there were only a couple of CJs and they were pretty much pics clean. I did find one assembly body, but you can see it was in much worse shape than mine.

So I think I am going to have to visit my local weld shop and have them cut it in half or rather separate the 2 pieces so I can get into the guts of the cover and then sand it and paint it and then have them weld it back together. The pieces if you look closely are not welded together, they are...

So after getting all the paint off and sanding and wire brushing the rust, I thought I was almost ready to apply the JD Weld. But there was a small dent that I wanted to hammer out. So I did. I am very glad I did as well. Its hard to see, but if you look at the picture below, you will see on...

Here is a close up of the rust holes.

I left the citrus stripper on all night and again removed what I could with a wire brush and putty knife. When I was done, I gave the cover another bath in Dawn and hot water.

Funny you should mention that... I didn't think to take pics until I was 1/4 of the way through, but here is what I have done, which lead me to a problem I will explain in a moment. I took the cover and gave it a bath in hot water and dawn to get all the grease and dirt and grime off of it. I...

I think that is what I am ultimately going to have to do Dave. I do not have a bead blaster so will have to bring it to a metal shop. Not really an issue, but I imagine that is going to cost me more than the cost of replacing it with a new part, which most likely does not even exist now. I...

I have now that you told me about them. All they have are the universal replacements from K&N. Thanks for the idea though.
