The first thing to do is open the bonnet, there is a plastic panel under the windscreen and two plastic panels on the two sides which must be removed to access the area where the motor is located. Use a wrench to remove the fixing nuts of the windscreen wiper operating levers and the relative motor. Repeat the same procedure for the second wiper as well.
