Blobeye how to change passenger side wiper motor.
Dear all,
Its been annoying me that the passenger side wiper has a lot of play and basically you can move the wiper a good 10 cm up the screen even though it rests in the normal place.
I have even removed the wiper arm several times and it makes no difference. Therefore does anyone know how hard is it to remove the wiper motor for the passenger side?
Regards.

So basically what your all telling me is don't change unless it does work? Its just annoying me but if its very difficult then looks like I will have to leave it. Damn it was very annoying.

Just checking, spoke to scott at scooby parts and he was asking is it the linkage bars? Does the linkage bars connect to drivers and pass side? Does anyone have a picture as i don't have car for next the week?

Just a quick knowledge infill.
1. there is no such thing as a daft question. Worry not.
Virtually all cars have a single wiper motor. This is bolted to a mount under the scuttle panel. The motor drives through a linkage so that its continuous rotating motion (it just goes round and around, not back and forth) is translated into a back and forth motion on a crank arm on the linkage. This back and forth motion goes to the near ar mand the link to the other arm transfers the movement.
By altering the linkage, it's easy to get different arcs of sweep from either arm so that different sized wipers cna move to cover a screen.
Faults are usually wear in the arms and bushes that connect them. There is a point on the circle of movement wher a contact is made or broken on the motor, so any fault where the wipers won't stop or keep stopping in the wrong place is due to this. If they move slowly or not at all, or the fuse blows, it's usually the motor.
Where one blade stops high, or is loose, it's the linkage that is at fault.
You remove both blades and arms, then loosen the securing nuts and once the scuttle is off, locate the motor and unbolt the linkage and also the fixed mounts of the linkage. Then replace.
It's really just like a window regulator in design, just flat pressings of steel, with rivetted bushed connections.

having actually seen the car and tried the wipers i would 99% be sure the linkage is at fault, the wipers work fine and the drivers side is not loose just the passenger side.
