How to Remove the Windscreen Wiper Control Lever on a Volkswagen Golf?

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video tutorial, see how to remove the windscreen wiper control lever on a Volkswagen Golf 5. First, remove the steering wheel. This is relatively simple, but pay close attention to the airbag; remember to disconnect the battery before starting. Once the steering wheel is removed, get a flat and sturdy tool. In the video, a kitchen knife is used, but any equivalent tool will suffice. Insert it into the left slot of the lever to unlock the internal clip, as shown in the video, and loosen the clip on the opposite side using a screwdriver. This will unlock the lever, allowing you to extract it from the main block.
