The motors are a real Pain to get out.

Are they broke and turned funny?

Is that why you want to take them out or you just don't like them?

I don't like them and never have. I think they are stupid looking. My 94 850 turbo did not have them because it did not have the winter package. I thought I saw somewhere a kit to take the wipers off and cover up the holes, but can't remember where.

The drivers side one is easy to get out.
Take the Arm off by lifting the cover on the Arm to gain access to the Nut.
Then you will have to feel under the hood at the back of the Headlight and there is 2 screws holding the motor in. Remove the screws and slide out.

Now the right side(pass.) side is a real pain because the engine harness comes out of the computer box and runs where the motor would slide out of.

If your serious about doing this and not putting it back you can fill the holes in with car puty and paint them with some Tesdtors modeling paint. You'll never know at a passing glance.
