REAR

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.





1. The rear wiper arm (2) must be indexed to the rear wiper motor output shaft with the motor in the park position to be properly installed. Position the wiper arm pivot end onto the output shaft so that the wiper arm is horizontal and the tip of the wiper blade is midway between the uppermost horizontal line (4) of the rear window defogger grid and the lower edge of the upper glass blackout area (3).
2. With the rear wiper arm properly indexed, push the tapered mounting hole on the pivot end of the wiper arm down over the output shaft.
3. Install and tighten the nut (5) that secures the rear wiper arm to the output shaft. Tighten the nut to 19.5 Nm (14 ft. lbs.).
4. Fold and snap the molded plastic nut cover (1) over the nut on the pivot end of the rear wiper arm.
5. Wet the lift 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.
