strips of masking tape.
3 Lift up the plastic cap from the bottom of
the wiper arm, and loosen the nut one or two
turns (see illustration).
4 Lift the wiper arm, and release it from the
taper on the spindle by moving it to one side.

12 Refitting is a reversal of the removal
procedure. There are two tightening torques
for the motor mounting bolts - the lower one
for bolts that are being re-inserted into an old
motor, and the higher ones for bolts that are
being inserted into a new motor. Make sure
that the wiper motor is in its “parked” position
before fitting the motor arm, and check that
the wiper linkage is in line with the motor arm.

bootlid opening. An engine oil level warning
light on the instrument panel is also part of the
system.
2 The auxiliary warning system module and
graphic warning display are combined into
one unit.
