    I just went and grabbed one off a hatch last week. Turns out its a bit shorter than the wagon unit.

    The wagon arms are specific to the wagon I think.
  • Mr GMr G Wagonist
    The hatch one is going to be the closest to the wago. The wagon at rally's is Abby had one .

    I have one if you're interested. It's off my wagon and I won't be needing it.

    Bumping this as I'm experiencing some sag in my rear wiper arm. It seems that it's liking to park a bit lower than it should by about two inches or so.

    Anyone have a simple fix for this?

    Lol, not gonna remove my wiper. I like it and it actually helps when it rains here as it's either downpours or desert conditions.

    Splines? (Has no idea what you're talking about) I'm completely new to cars so I need layman's style help.
  • DarinDarin Wagonist
    no,i diddnt mean remove it altogether.just take it off and move it a couple splines over so it doesnt sit as far down.

    the shaft on the wiper motor has teeth in it. the cone on the wiper arm has the same, and when u tighten them, they mesh, and you cant move the wiper without moving the motor...


    so remove the wiper arm, re-position it or clock it how ever u want it to sit, and torque it back down.

    No CR-V is way shorter and GS-R is way longer.

    An EK one might work . I need to measure.

    Ah, got it!

    Thanks for the help guys, I'll see about popping my tailgate trim off and adjusting it soon.


    EDIT!: I should be able to access it by popping off the interior cargo area tailgate trim, right?

    No, pry off the plastic cover where the arm attaches to the motor. You'll find a nut there, 10mm IIRC.
  • DarinDarin Wagonist
    on the outside of the hatch.
  • MOD_MAN_EXTREMEMOD_MAN_EXTREME Wagonist
    Ok, so I ran outside, popped the cover and moved my wiper arm up a bit. Problem solved, sorta.

    Apparently the motor itself has about an inch of play in the rotation when it stops so I basically set it to stop an inch high and the arm now slides down to park in the correct position. Is this how it's supposed to be on these old rear wipers, or is it just something I should roll with and not think about?
  • danzdanz Wagonist
    sounds like somethings worn out inside the motor itself..

    Ah, well as long as it works and isn't falling off I'm OK with it.

    I have an extra motor if you're interested. PM me if you are and we can work something out.
