Rear wiper install

[Nickb1907]

Check your wires first, its easy, just pull the rubber hatch boot back and take a look. A quarter ( 25 cents ) is the hole size. Running the hose for the sprayer is difficult. Use some silicone to seal the hole for the wiper. The hole for the spray nozzle will be modified with a small notch at the bottom of the hole. I can get a pic if you need it.

that would be helpful, i didnt know if these came with a seal btw the door and wiper or not.

Just found out my car didnt have factory defrost, instead if was some aftermarket defrost kit that didnt work.

I might just try to find a whole new hatch now.

They do have a rubber gasket. Ill get you that pic.

Here is a rubbing of the hole for the jet nozzle. Just make the right size hole and add the square notch at the bottom with a small square file. Just takes a minute.

I plan on doing this soon, I know my Festy used to have the rear wiper I assume as I already have a tank installed and there is a little inch of tubing that was cut. It dosn't have the original hatch though so I'm guessing this one likely dosn't have the motor or anything though. :/ I'll check tomorrow

The pump motor is on the washer fluid tank so if you have the tank, you have the pump motor.

I ment the wiper motor for the wiper.

Resurrection.

The hole measurements were mentioned above and someone else said a larger size hole saw could work.
What methods have y'all found as the best for making the correct size hole?

Make the wiper motor hole the size of a quarter ( 25 cent piece ).

Why isn't this stickied somewhere?
This is very useful info.

Currently installing a wiper on my hatch.

So no one has the measurements for the sprayer?

Any useful hints on running the washer hose though the C pillar?

If anyone needs one, I have a wiper/washer assembly that I purchased from a member before I was lucky enough to pick up a wiper hatch. PM me if interested.

Here is my hint. I grabbed the thinnest coat hanger in my closest and unraveled it and straightened it out. Then I took out the push clamp things that hold up the rear of the headliner and dropped it down a bit. Tie/Tape the end of the hose to the end of the hanger and route it up to the roof line. Once you can see it undo it from the hanger and pull some slack out and let it hang there. Now take the right wing window out and then from that window opening take your hose and tie/tape it back to the hanger so you can route it across the roof and over to the nozzle.

Here was my posting for that phase

PM Freshtiva, his post on how to is what I used and it worked quite well, I used baling wire to fish the hose down to the washer bottle, good luck and have patience. Its well worth the effort.
