1. Install a new rubber grommet (1) into the rear wiper motor output shaft clearance hole located in the liftgate glass. Always use a new rubber grommet in the glass.
2. Check to be certain that the three U-nuts (2) are properly installed and in good condition in the liftgate inner panel (3).






CAUTION: A new replacement rear wiper motor is shipped with a rubber lubricant applied to the motor output shaft where it contacts the rubber grommet in the liftgate glass. If a rear wiper motor is removed then reinstalled, an appropriate rubber lubricant (Mopar(R) Nye Synthetic Lubricant - also known as Fluorocarbon Gel 880 Synthetic Lubricant) must be applied to the motor output shaft in the area just below the taper where the shaft will contact the grommet before the motor is reinstalled. Failure to comply with this caution can result in premature grommet failure, excessive motor loads and water leaks.
