Don't have a pic so I will try to describe it as best I can. The clip is u shaped so it puts out pressure on the wiper arm. On the clip there is a hole at the end of a cut out slot. The hole fits onto/thur the arm that holds wiper arms on. To get the clip off you have to push until it moves down the cut out slot to were the hole is and then the clip will come off. The arm is grooved like for an e clip.
If you take motor loose it will give you a little more room to work with. Take a flat head and try to push the clip down the slot to the hole and it will then come off. Hope this helps, good luck!

thanks guys; you did great job of explaining it, i still had to grab pic of it once i freed it from the header and removed the motor bolts themselves to understand, lol

Thanks much again !!
