The little one with the slats? It looks like it should be removable. I have what looks like a mouse nest in there from the winter I need to take out.

******* mice.

easy-
remove the wipers, flip up the covers and start with a 10mm or 12mm box wrench for the arms, 14mm I believe for the bits under the arm NOTE THE ORDER THESE THINGS RE-ASSEMBLE! The panel itself is held on by 3-4 phillips screws inside the engine compartment. NOTE there are some pads the panels sits on that my fall off/get lost as you lift it off. GREAT time to lube the wiper transmission pivots!!
