Arm-Liftgate Wiper

REMOVAL




1. Insert the tip of a small screwdriver into the notch on the large end of the rear wiper arm (1) and carefully pry the plastic cap (6) until it unsnaps from the mounting hole on the pivot end of the arm.
2. Remove the nut (5) that secures the arm to the rear wiper motor output shaft (3).

CAUTION: The use of a battery terminal puller when removing the rear wiper arm is NOT recommended as this may damage the rear wiper arm.

3. Use a slight rocking action to remove the rear wiper arm from the output shaft.

INSTALLATION

NOTE: Be certain that the rear wiper motor is in the park position before attempting to install the 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 (1) must be indexed to the motor output shaft (3) with the rear wiper motor in the park position to be properly installed. Position the rear wiper arm pivot end onto the motor output shaft so that the wiper blade is aligned with the alignment mark (4) located in the upper margin of the lower liftgate glass blackout area on the lower right corner of the liftgate glass.
2. With the 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 arm to the shaft. Tighten the nut to 12 N.m (9 ft. lbs.).
4. Wet the liftgate glass, then operate the rear wiper. Turn the rear wiper switch to the Off position, then check for the correct wiper arm position and adjust as required.
5. Insert the tab of the plastic cap (6) into the mounting hole on the side opposite the notch and press firmly on the notched side of the cap until it snaps into place.
