Rear Wiper Arm: Installation
NOTE:
Be certain that the rear wiper motor is in the park position before attempting to install the rear wiper arm. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and move the rear wiper switch to its OFF position. If the wiper motor output shaft moves, wait until it stops moving, then turn the ignition switch back to the OFF position. The wiper motor is now in its park position.
- The rear wiper arm must be indexed to the motor output shaft with the rear wiper motor in the park position to be properly installed. Position the wiper arm pivot end to the output shaft so that the wiper blade is aligned with the middle of the heating element for the rear wiper blade.
- With the rear wiper arm (2) properly indexed, push the tapered mounting hole of the pivot end of the wiper arm down over the output shaft.
- Install the nut (1) that secures the rear wiper arm to the rear wiper motor output shaft. Tighten the nut to the proper specification. Refer to TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS .
- Wet the liftgate glass and operate the rear wiper. Turn the rear wiper switch to the OFF position, then check for correct wiper arm position and readjust as required.
- Fold and snap the molded integral plastic pivot cover (1) over the nut on the pivot end of the rear wiper arm.
