To all owner 03-08 wiper linkage repair and maintenance.

Post by g0ldrush1958 »

The reason I'm posting this is because many vibe owner told me that the wiper feel a bit slow . The pivots gets dry and rusty so the only way to fix the problem. Make sure wiper are in park.
unbolt both arms and remove them, remove (left and right) plastic cover (Clip under the rubber) and one each side end. Unplug the motor, remove the two bolts holding the linkage. then pup up the unit to remove. Put the unit on a visse and work one side at a time. Remove lock ring on top of pivot slowly with a screwdriver and pop pivot down, watch there's two oring one on the top and one at the botton, remove them before you clean inside with a brass brush (pencil style) clean pivot, grease them with white lithium grease and reassemble, Wiper will work like new at no cost :)
