Wiper motor in reverse

82MK2 · 07-05-2010, 08:42 PM

I have a 82 mk2 and the wipers are backwards.when you turn wipers off they are in middle of windshield.i have tried pushing them down and they go right back up

You need to pull them OFF and put them back on in the right orientation. Just pushing them down won't do anything but strip the cogs in the arm and on the spindle... if you've already done that you'll be replacing some parts.

You may have already ruined the gears. Sorry.

I have a couple of wiper linkages for sale. Wipers, also.
