Single wiper for MK2 Astra HELP NEEDED !!

[Paul]

Need a bit of help.
Brought a modified linkage for my Astra.
Having a few problems setting it up, the wiper comes of the screen !
Pissing me of now.
Should the arm be attached to the motor in a certain way ? Arm at the moment goes right a bit then left, then seems to change its mind from one time to the next!!

Any gen ?
Do I need to adjust the motors park position ?

Cheers,

Paul

I'm not too sure about the setup on the mk2 Astra but on the Nova you just loosely place the linkage (the wiper motor side) on the motor spindle then push the linkage as far to the left as it'll go. Tighten the nut holding the linkage onto the motor spindle. Then put the wiper arm onto it's spindle and place it about 45 degrees up from the base of the passenger side of the screen. Tighten the wiper arm nut and check the sweep. If the sweep isn't quite how you want it, just make adjustments as necessary to the wiper arm position on the spindle. If you want it parked straight up the middle of the screen, when you have the sweep set up, just loosen the nut on the wiper motor spindle and move the linkage along to the right slightly so the arm is parked straight up. Then re tighten the motor spindle connection.

Hope that helps,
