1.
Remove both wiper/wiper arm assemblies.

Place a new grommet on each wiper pivot shaft. Be sure to put the correct grommet on its shaft. The grommet for the driver's side wiper shaft is
marked with a "D". Some passenger's side grommets are marked with an "A" while others may not be have this mark. You can also determine the
correct part by looking at the height of the grommet. The passenger's side grommet is the taller of the two and the outside edges rise from the
bottom at a steeper angle than the driver's side. See the PARTS INFORMATION section of this bulletin.
