There is probably a small drain on the battery - perhaps the luggage compartment light isn't switching off. The car alternator isn't really capable of recharging a battery due to it's high internal impedance. It is better to recharge it independently.

I had the same problem. I started by applying penetrating oil to the bolt and then I tried a 2 jaw puller. But the jaws would not fit between the arm and the windshield. I then used a 2 1/2 inch "c" clamp and it fit perfectly. Turned the clamp bolt a few times, and the arm popped off the stud in about 10 seconds.

I haven't found a bad motor yet. It has always been the magnetic lock. Its part of the regulator. It is because of the coil burns or the gears strip out(plastic) . The regulator is on the drivers side, of course at the rear of the vehicle. You have to remove the bezel at the top, the is a square on it(pop it off) that has a bolt/screw to remove. The bottom bezel needs popped off to a point. It does need to be removed, but pushed up to a point that you can get to the regulator. If you want to remove it, the rear seat has to come out. Remove the bolts holding the regulator. unplug the electrical connectors.. Just a note. I do electrical/electronics on cars. I do have to pull panels sometimes to get to motors like these to check. I use a scanner to check every aspect of the/any system.. It could be a bad switch in the dash.

check your fuses and relays --if good will need to pull up the switch from arm rest panel and test the switch when window open rain does drip down into switch

What switch ? what linkage ? Fuse ? Your going to have to explain a little if you would like help !

The AC box that contains the Evaporator core is not sealed properly, or the drain is clogged again. Check the drain again, it exits under the car on passenger side base of engine bulkhead.

Under the hood, on drivers side.

Christina, I do not think you have to take it off, what you do is pull in on tabs(sides) of open glove box and over open glove box so it swings down out of way of fuse/relays access if yours is equipped like this. Your car has fuses and relays under hood and interior of vehicle. I posted video links for both, check them out first. "I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.
