Hi folks,
I think I am asking something dumb, please advice me.
I have the wiper blade ready, but I simply cannot lift up the wiper arm fully to change the blade.
Any tips?
Thanks!

The blades can still be changed, by just lifting them the couple of inches or so from the screen.

You lift the blade slightly, then there is a catch you need to press a where the join to the wiper arm is (if yoiu have a look at the replacement, it should be clear what needs tobe pressed together.
It then slides down the arm a little until you can get lift the arma little higher & it slides away from the blade.

Why LR don't let you lift the blades completely is beyond me, maybe to stop the hippies vandalising the Chelsea based D3's?
Its a pain in the  both when washing the car, and when parking in heavy snow, where it makes much more sense to lift blades of screen so they don't freeze to it, yes I know the front screen is heated (on our HSE anyway) but it saves a lot of time clearing the screen in the morning.
Disco4 does not seem to have fixed this either...
