Info - Availability of Windshield Wiper Motor Cover/Module from GMSPO

GMSPO has released a windshield wiper motor cover/module that is available separately for service. It is no longer necessary to replace the complete windshield wiper motor for a cover and/or module concern. Follow the procedure below when servicing the cover/module.

1. Remove the wiper arms. Lift the arm and raise it approximately 50 mm (2 in) from the glass. Release the locking tab at the base of the arm by sliding the tab outward with a flat bladed tool. With a flat bladed tool, lift the wiper arms off of the post.
2. Remove the air inlet grille panel caps by applying upward pressure to the caps.
3. Remove the air inlet grille panel. The panel has two screws, one on each end of the panel and two push pins in the front of the panel. Use a flat bladed tool to release the four retainers under the panel.
4. Move the panel forward to gain access to the wiper motor.
5. Disconnect the electrical connector from the module.
6. Use a flat bladed tool and release the five retainers that retain the cover / module to the motor.
7. Install the wiper cover/module. Align the retainer with the tang on the motor and push down.
8. Install the electrical connectors to the cover/module.
9. Make sure wipers are operational.
10. Install the air inlet grille panel. Align the air inlet grille to the vehicle and secure by pushing downward on the four retainers. Install the push in retainer and tighten the two end screws.

Tighten
Tighten the screws to 2.5 N·m (22 lb in).

11. Install the air inlet grille panel caps. Align the air inlet grille panel caps to the vehicle and apply downward pressure to the cap until fully seated.
12. Install the wiper arms. Align the key on the wiper arm pivot shaft with the detent on the wiper arm post, and with the locking tab in the open position, slide the wiper arm onto the pivot shaft. Make sure the wiper arm is fully seated to ensure the locking tab can be engaged.
