Does anyone know how to take the whole windshield wipers off? not just the blade, but the whole thing. I have a 95 G20 (P10) and want to change it into a one wiper conversion. How do i get the windshield wiper off the screw, where do i unscrew it from the bottom to take it off?

It's a breeze . . .
At the base of your wiper, there is a plastic bump . . . a little nubbin' kinda thingy . . .
You can pry it up with a flat-head (blade type) screw-driver. Underneath it you will see a nut that you will need to remove with a socket/ratchet . . . sorry, I can't remember the size . . .
Once you loosen and remove the nut, you'll have to remove the wiper from the metal studlike thingy that it sits on . . .
Apply even pressure from underneath the wiper if possible . . . I wound this to be the hard part . . .
On a side note . . . I don't exactly recommend the single wiper move if you're afraid to damage your car. You will have to modify (cut and hack to pieces) the cowling at the base of your windshield for the wiper to come down far enough on the driver's side . . .
Good luck . . .

got it rebel, almost.
got the screw off, but since the wiper is pressed on originally that thing wouldn't budge.
i drove over to a shop and the guy let me use his tool. a fork shaped thing with only one notch in order to get the leverage.
no way was it comiing out with a screwdriver, especially since it's kinda' cramped in that area.
