FRONT

NOTE: Be certain that the wiper motor is in the park position before attempting to install the front wiper arms. Turn the ignition switch to the On position and move the multi-function switch control knob to its Off position. If the wiper pivots move, wait until they stop moving, then turn the ignition switch back to the Off position. The front wiper motor is now in its park position.





1. The front wiper arms (1) must be indexed to the pivot shafts (3 and 4) with the front wiper motor in the park position to be properly installed. Position the wiper arm pivot end or links onto the pivot shafts so that the lower edge of the wiper blade is aligned with the wiper alignment lines (5) concealed in the upper margin of the lower windshield blackout area.

2. Once the wiper blade is aligned, lift the front wiper arm away from the windshield slightly to relieve the spring tension on the pivot end or links and push the arm or links down over the pivot shaft or shafts.

3. Install and tighten the nut or nuts (2) that secure the wiper arm or links to the pivot shaft or shafts. Tighten the nuts to 40 Nm (30 ft. lbs.).

4. Wet the windshield glass, then operate the front wipers. Turn the wiper switch to the Off position, then check for the correct wiper arm position and readjust as required.
