Installation Notes and Tips

• Confirm the vehicle uses a front-mounted wiper motor before ordering.
• If the vehicle does not use hidden wiper blades, parking misalignment is often corrected by adjusting the crank arm position on the motor shaft.
• Some wiper systems will not operate if the washer pump is defective; bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before replacing either.
• Vehicles with moisture-sensitive wipers use a rain sensor mounted inside the windshield near the rearview mirror.
• Refer to a vehicle-specific service manual for the hidden-park reset procedure when applicable.
