Dreaded Wipers On An 850

27 January 2012 - 10:21 PM

Driver's side post to attach he wiper arm to on my son's '94 850 had the thread stripped from the loose arm so we couldn't tighten down a nut to hold on a new one. I bought a new (used) linkage (transmission) so I pulled the old one out and exchanged the motor to the new one. I never could get the linkage adjusted. I followed VADIS instructions but the wiper blades wanted to go down, not up (so my conclusion is that VADIS is wrong with their instructions for this)... I finally have the arms so that in the "parked" position they are up, but at least they swipe the windshield. Does anyone know the correct linkage adjustment procedure for an 850? That thing has been in and out of the car 4 times now and I spent many frustrating hours last night until I finally gave up and put it in with the above description. Thanks for your help- and yes, I have searched and searched this site, other sites, google, etc., etc. without any information.
