No idea how to detach the old wiper blades

They are RainX brand. I looked all over YouTube but found nothing.
Anyone have any idea how to detach this style wiper?

Yes, that is what I was doing. Tried both directions.
Do these blades get welded on somehow?

There is a tab on the bottom where the hook is.
Push it towards the wiper arm and pull the blade towards the car.

It is probably a bit stubborn but it'll release with elbow grease.
I usually end up twisting the blade so it's horizontal and using it as leverage to push to out.

Yup, I also tried making the blade parallel to the arm as I yanked it towards the base of the wiper arm. Nothing.
I might need to get a helper to hit it with a hammer or something.
Never had this much trouble. Wondering if the seller Krazy Glued this on. I've seen worse.

I read another thread that says you need to lift a latch.
I am not near my car, but there is a latch you need to open???

LOL, I already clicked the useless link.
And I already stated that I already tried to push the wiper towards the base of the wiper arm.
