GGT's Wipers are currently not parking themselves when I switch them off. :banghead: I have to switch them off when they reach the bottom of the screen. However, those on SRY are self-parking, and I would like to know what I have to do to swap them over.
Can anyone help?

Steve.

this is easy, take the black cover off the car (engine compartment) that covers up the wiper linkage and motor.

remove the bolts holding the wiper motor down and also the one connecting it to the lnkage and lift it out.

im presuming its a motor fault i.e a park switch

So I just replace the motors? That easy then?

I remember taking the wiper motor's out of Rich's Montego VDP - i can be a bit fiddly - you'd be best doing it when you have taken the bonnet off - is i presume you will still be swaping those aswell?

:cool:
