[ROW911SC]

So I'm about fifteen hours into removing everything on my 911 (except front and rear glass) and worked on the windshield wipers today. Removed the arms, plastic covers, metal caps, and rubber grommets; there seems to be enough room to tape the threaded spindle to prevent overspray but I'm wondering if I should drop the wiper arm assembly?

Also, should I try to remove the headlight buckets from the fenders? They seem to be stuck pretty tight!

Thanks!
