Geting under the scuttle pannel

[Will.]

Is it a case of removing the windscreen wipers and undo-ing the screws?

Looking for the drainage holes.

Couldn't you have posted this in your other thread on the same subject?

 

[Will.]

NO. Because no c**t replied since yesterday and this is a more direct question.

Back in ya hole Scotland.

Exactly that. The wipers were a real sod to get off on mine. I ended up putting some silver foil around to deflect the heat and used my Hot air gun on them.

Where are you based will? I am near Yeovil if you want a hand.

Cheers mate.

I should be ok at the moment. I'm round the folks house and just going to see what I can do while they are walking the dogs.

If you have a small puller you can often use one to pop the arms off as well

My footwell was drenched in the 172, hadn't started the car in 8 weeks.

Think I'll need to check mine.

LOL I felt sorry for my mate. He had to put his feet in it as we drove to work the morning I found it.

There are two little clips, one at either end, attaches it to the wing IIRC. Then there are two plastic clips that look like screws.

Remove the wipers, and unclip from the grove below the screen. IIRC there is a small panel ext on the drivers side that come off as well.

I tried with a windscreen wiper arm puller and they would not budge, until I applied some heat. 30 secs to remove then!

If you have a small puller available like below, it can help pop the arm off:
