Part: Windshield wipers

The wiper motor mechanism is located just below the windshield: to disassemble it, you need to remove the wiper arms and the plastic cover that conceals the device; this cover is secured with pressure clips and is very easy to remove; once you reach the complete motor mechanism, unscrew the mounting screws, disconnect the power connector, and pull it out from its housing by also removing the crossmember located just above the brake booster to gain more maneuvering space and facilitate the operation.
