Ensure the wipers are parked with the stalk switch in the OFF position and the ignition is OFF. Use a fender cover to protect the windshield. To prevent damage to the
Wiper Arms and pivots, avoid manually sliding or forcing the wiper arms across the windshield. Remove the wiper arms and lift off the plenum chamber seals, twisting the quick-release fasteners 90° to remove the plenum cover. Take out the cowl cover expansion rivets and lift off the cover. Pull up on the left end of the fresh air intake funnel to remove it. Release the wiper motor bracket from under the cowl by removing the mounting bolts, using a crowfoot wrench to take off the nut, lifting out the bracket with the motor, and detaching the electrical connector. Before reinstalling, replace rubber mounting grommets as needed. Install the wiper motor bracket and tighten the mounting bolts. Before reinstalling the wiper arms, reconnect the wiper motor electrical connector and briefly switch the ignition ON with the wiper switch in the OFF position to allow the wiper pivots to reach the PARK position. Reinstall the wiper arms and blades, ensuring that each
Wiper Blade is approximately 55 mm (2 in) above the lower windshield edge when parked. Check the wiper blade contact angle and adjust it if necessary using the wiper motor bracket adjusting screw. After adjusting, grip the adjusting screw and tighten the nut, securing it with varnish. Recheck the torque on the wiper arm fasteners after the first use.
