PROCEDURE

Open the hood.

Pry off and remove the black protective cap at the front of the arm pivot, then unscrew the hex nut underneath. Remove the washer.

Carefully pull the arm off the fine-serrated connection of the wiper shaft.

When installing, tighten the wiper arms so that the left arm is 6 cm from the lower edge of the windshield.

The right arm must be installed so that it reaches the marking at the bottom of the windshield.

To do this, make sure that the wiper motor is in the park position.

Tighten the hex nuts to 16 N·m.
