Replacing Wipers

[JonsGen]

So from what I can tell it looks like you have to take the wipers off the car to replace the blades on my '13 R-spec.

You can't stand them up with the hood closed or open.

So what I'm wondering is, is there anything in particular I need to be aware of when removing the wiper? Mainly in terms of getting it back in the same spot when reinstalling.

Thanks.

Not sure if your is the same but you move the wiper up so you can remove/replace the blade
For your convenience, move the
windshield wiper blades to the service
position as follows;
After turning off the engine, move the
wiper switch to the single wiping
(MIST) position within 20 seconds
and hold the switch more than 2 seconds
until the wiper blade is in the
fully up position.

It also explains the procedure in your owners manual if you still have that.
