Ive installed two new wheelboxes, and I dont know for sure whether the worm drive goes on the top
Of the toothed wheel on both boxes? Ive got it going like that at the mo, but the wipers are going the same way on each screen, I thought they went opposite? I’ve read somewhere that the worm drive goes on top of one box and underneath the other but I cant see how that would work! Thanks in advance !
 
As I recall it is one on top and one below on later series.
If when you switch on the first move of the wiper motor is to pull the worm drive wire then it will be on the bottom of the drivers side and on top of the passenger side.
If first move is push the wire it will be opposite way around. Hope that helps.
 
Ah right, got that. Thats what I thought...damned annoying as I only noticed in a wee shower yesterday
It does look wrong when setting it up as it means that the worm cable doe snot sit horizontally and is at an angle along the bulkhead. but it is definitely one above and one below.
