   Pull it lol i sprayed WD40 on it too.
   
   i found it came off easier when the blade was bent up rather than laying flat against the window. Just becareful of the window.

    I found the nut, it was dirty so i sprayed it with WD and left it half hour and it was still slipping and i didnt have a socket wrench so i had to hacksaw it off, took me about half hour in the end..
    
    Bought the Halfords grommet kit and i ended up using the 19mm i think as it was the only one that fit, which one did you use?
    
    It seems a bit flimsy?
