Thank you! This helped alot. I just removed it and it looks great! I also put some lithium grease on the sticking part to protect from rust. (not showed on the picture) :

No problem in the snow. Just remember to kick off the compacted snow in front and behind of each tire. All the snow really adds a lot of weight.
I just wanted to remove the wiper arm, not the entire motor. I will reput it during winter because it will help alot with snow stacking on the window.

Thank you for your input on the fender!
