Now you can bolt in your wiper system. First, you will need to put the wiper cable into the wiper motor. Then assemble the wiper motor bracket LOOSELY onto the wiper motor with the stainless steel (we like stainless steel) hose clamps. Then, locate the 3 tubes that come with the system. Take the tube with the nut on one end (the one with the BIG bend in it) thread it over the cable, and screw it onto the wiper motor. It only needs to be finger tight! Do not tighten it up with a wrench!!! You will jam the wiper cable in the housing and then you will "let the smoke out" of the wiper motor and you may have to call Frozone to put out any fire that may start.

Thread the tube and cable through the OUTBOARD hole above the left foot box (that is the hole you DIDN'T string the wiring harness through!) and into the cockpit. While it is still loose, plug in the wiper motor wires. It is MUCH easier now than later (unless you can convince Elastigirl to do it for you).

Plug the blue with white stripe wire in here:




Plug the solid blue wire in here:




Thread the wiper cable and the 1st bent tube through this hole. Now, a lot of you guys (because you are very smart and have been reading EVERYTHING I have written) are going to post nasty comments on the QUESTIONS thread saying, "HEY DAVID, LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE A BLOW TORCH HOLE IN THAT GROMMET THERE!" GOOD! I am glad you have been reading. But, have no fear, we are going to run a WHOLE bunch of dash sending units through that grommet to fill up the hole. By the time we are done with all the wires and sending unit plugs, you will wish the hole were BIGGER!




Bolt down the wiper motor into the top of the foot box.




Slide the tube with the slight bend in it between the wiper wheel boxes and tighten them up. Put the short tube on the right end of the right wheel box and tighten everything up. Again, you don't want to make things in the wiper department too tight.
