Reversal of Wipers Update
 

I completed the wiper reversal 'mod' as noted in this Wiper Reversal Link I did this when I was replacing the ventilation fan/motor. However, I'd like to add a little to it. I had trouble reaching the nut to loosen it, as the bracket was in the way. I removed the speedometer, and it was MUCH easier to loosen and tighten from inside the car.

Is there any way this could be added to the tech article?

Thanks,
Mike

Great tip. Thoughts like this can and are added to the original articles. Wayne does this, so you'd have to email him your info.

Thanks Milt. I'll e-mail Wayne.

Thanks,

Good point, Mike, it is much easier to come in through the gauges to reach the bracket nut. Enjoy the improved view!

OOPS, sorry. I didn't know there was a thread about this. I didn't do a search, simply because the tech article made complete sense to me. Didn't even dawn on me to search to see if there were 'alternate' ways of doing it.

BTW, I also bent BOTH arms at an angle (opposite of the angle that is originally in the passenger side arm). This helps them lay 'flatter' when parked.

911inSC. How long did it take to do? this looks like a great idea. I've always thought that the wipers obscure the drivers view.

best, Paul.

It all depends on how good you are at 'working blind' and how small your hands are. If you'd had your gauges out before (or are very easy to remove), I don't see it taking longer than 30 minutes to rotate them to the passenger side, and then a few more minutes to 'bend' the arms in the opposite direction. It really was pretty easy after I did this from inside the car.

Good luck!
