Installation Notes and Tips

Verify left-hand drive configuration before ordering. Confirm the vehicle uses the listed OE reference 61617194029 and that the electric motor is not included with the replacement part. Compare the original linkage dimensions and mounting points to the new assembly before installation. For BMW 528i, 535i, and 650i fitments, check the existing wiper motor and linkage condition together so the full system can be serviced correctly.
