Recommendations

The windscreen trim must be removed during an intervention on the wiper motor but also during an intervention on the front suspensions.

In our tutorials, when we indicate the RH side (right hand side) or the LH side (left hand side) for a part we have to work on, we must understand ''to our right'' or ''to our left'' when we are driving the vehicle.

Required Tools

Mark the position of the 2 wiper blades on the windscreen. Use electrical tape.

The tape will allow you to find the correct position of the wipers during reassembly.
