Rear condenser installation instructions

[PeteBrown]

I'm trying replace a rear wiper motor and noticed that my rear condenser is missing a couple bolts. One by the wiper motor driver side top and the other passenger side bottom. It appears they use a simple bolt and nut but how do you insert the nut with a stock factory tail? Does the tail have to come off? I've searched to forums but have not found anything.

Thanks,
Pete

Pete,

I'm not completely sure how the wiper installs but looking at the PET, photos and my rear condenser change, here are my thoughts:

I did not have to remove anything for my condenser install. Here are the mounting points.

Center Mount



Left Mount



Right Mount



When mounting the condenser check the grill T-bolts, 911-559-433-00, clearance. I needed to shorten the long ones to get enough clearance.

For the center mount I used high density foam weather stripping from the hardware store instead of the low density Porsche foam, 911-537-141-00. This has held up well over the last several years.

Looking at the wiper motor, it appears that there are only three mounting points for an 87. Two which mount on the engine lid hinge and the shaft for turning the rear wiper.



Here's a good thread on the rear wiper installation.

Need pictures of installed rear wiper assembly

Let me know if you still need help with this installation.
