Wiper Arm Installation
1. The wiper arms must be indexed to the wiper pivots with the wiper motor in the park position to be properly installed. Position the wiper arm pivot
ends onto the wiper pivots so that the lower edge of the blade is aligned with the wiper alignment lines concealed in the upper margin of the lower
windshield blackout area ± 15 mm (± 0.59 in.).
2. Once the wiper blade is aligned, lift the wiper arm away from the windshield slightly to relieve the spring tension on the pivot end and push the
pivot hole on the end of the wiper arm down over the wiper pivot shaft.
3. Install and tighten the nut that secures the wiper arm to the wiper pivot shaft. Tighten the nut to 23.7 Nm (210 in. lbs.).
4. Wet the windshield glass, then operate the wipers. Turn the wiper switch to the OFF position, then check for the correct wiper arm position and
readjust as required
5. Reinstall the plastic nut cap onto the wiper arm pivot nut
