Windshield Wiper Mechanism

NOT A T5 · Jun 2, 2018

It's been so long since I have taken parts out of my Convertible that I sometimes can't remember how it goes back LOL. The time of re-assembly has come and I know the windshield mechanism can only go back in one way. The passenger side wiper faces the correct direction whereas the driver side is somewhat pointed upward! I'm aware the they both should face the same direction. Thanks!

I took mine out and cleaned the motor and changed the grease in the box. Also did some work in the cowl. Do any of these pictures give you a clue?

David, I know how to put it back in, my concern is that they don't face the same direction, confusing!

Humm, I thought there was only one way that it will bolt up and for sure only one way to put the arms on. Maybe you have the lever on the wiper motor 180 deg. off.

Here is an earlier post that discusses some possible issues.

Wiper arms can be mounted in two positions? One to conceal the arms under the trailing edge of the hood for Summer, and the other would leave the blade higher up the windshield, in the sun, for the Winter season. Possible driver's side of yours is mounted in the Winter/higher position?
