Question Rear wiper arm removal

Does anybody know how to remove the rear wiper arm? Mine is in serious need of a repaint, but after looking at it for a few minutes today, it doesn't look like it comes off normally like the fronts!

Well I figured it out after looking it over a little closer! The end opposite the wiper has a plastic top that pops up to uncover the 10mm bolt. BTW, The front bolts are 12mm in case anybody needs to remove them!

Repaint on the car!

Get newspaper and place between the wiper arm and window. Use what you need to cover as much area as your confidence allows. Use the old flat black spray paint and go to town.

I do this once a year to all my wipers....kind of a tradition.

I'd rather not risk it! For me it is much much easier to just take off the one bolt each and paint them off the car! I changed the color too, so I wanted to make sure the bottom of the arms ended up the same color! I'll post pics once I get the film developed....
