I had to wedge a screwdriver in between the arm and the back piece of the clip and finally the arm slide completely past the bumps and the wiper was secure. Once the wiper arm was ON the clip bumps I noticed that the wiper arm wouldn't slide any further and with further inspection, the wiper arm itself was bent (so imagine the arm as being a partial 'P') so it was stopping at another plastic piece at the back of the clip. These needed to be bent slightly (and carefully as the material is fairly fragile) so that the wiper arm could pass the clip bumps. Background: Wiper Arm is a 'Candy Cane' type arm (not sure of the technical term) It has gone through many wiper changes, the paint is peeling off, and the 'U' part of the cane is warped There are two bumps on the clip that is attached to the Reflex wiper blades that would stop the wiper arm from passing it. Even though this is a 'straightforward' procedure I'll explain what I did anyways for others who don't have the optimal settings for straightforward installations.

But your help was more than appreciated considering previous answers I received. I ended up using pliers before reading this post and managed to get them on.
