Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1998-2002 Subaru Forester, rear. Confirm the vehicle uses the rear wiper motor application listed before installation. If the wipers do not park correctly and the vehicle does not use hidden wiper blades, inspect crank arm position on the motor shaft and reset it to the proper park angle using a vehicle-specific service manual. If the system includes a moisture sensor or rain-sensing control, verify related components and wiring before replacing the motor. If the washer pump is defective on a system that requires it for operation, bench test both the wiper motor and washer pump before installation.
