Wiper motor Replaced

02 Freelander ES Td4

I have just replaced the front wiper motor,Very easy the only thing is according to the Haynes manual you have to take all the windscreen panel securing studs out,After taking them all out and I didn't break any then removing the rubber strip inside the bonnet released the cowl I noticed the windscreen cowl was in two parts,I could have left the nearside studs in.
While I had the linkage all out I fitted some of those spring clips that Singvogel mentioned on a post that hold the small ball joints together as there was a bit of play in them.

when you put the arms back on if you look carefully on the windscreen at the bottom there are 2 crosses, one nearly in the middle and one on left had side, your wiper arm should sit on top of the cross then you have it right. hope this helps

Hi
Thanks teddywood 1,I did see it mentioned in the book but it is always nice for someone to mention it on here as it does help with aligning wiper arms.
Thanks.
