Get some pliers and pull off the small plastic piece on the driver's side of the wiper arm that holds the OEM wiper in place. If you can't see it, I'll go snap a pic for you.

I just put my ICONS on yesterday, we're supposed to get sleet/snow tonight!

March 20th, that crap is supposed to be long gone by now!
