Installed int. wipers today

[Damkid]

Thanks to sasquatch for the mint int. wiper stalk!! looks and works great!!

Good stuff! I got mine from Sasquatch too, though mine is just sitting, waiting for Xiva to get started...though it'd be nice to have for the rainy season upcoming. How long did it take you to install? Then again, I got one with the cruise too, which would mean I'd need that unit too...haha

I have one with cruise but it got busted and i figured if i was going to buy one anyway i'd rather have one with out cruise so it matches the car

it took me about 15 mins to install, use a screw driver bit with a 1/4" socket/ratchet, instead of a full screwdriver and you can do it without taking out the steering column bolts

It's a 3rd postition where the wipers have a delay to them, and the variable ones you can adjust the delay time

ooo ok i got it thanks damkid

Ya know, I might have to get me one of those w/o cruise now for my dd. Good call on the screwdriver/rachet. I got this little bitty rachet with my tool set for screwdriver bits, seems that's probably the kinda thing that's for...

Nice sig, btw, gonna take some gettin used to though...

not sure what you mean by the steering column bolts? could you enlighten me please.

[TominMO]

Is it just the stalk itself that is different or do you need something else too? What cars do these come out of? LX and GL Festys? Do any Ford or Mazda stalks work?

[GenevaDirt]

older mazdas....but they will have the cruise on them here in the states. Not sure if we ever got the ones without cruise. I know they have them in Canada

[SimonTuffGuy]

Ohhh... I like the white stalk. I was only ever able to find them in orange. :\

I meant you don't need to remove the bolts to lower the steering column to access the little screws better

[GenevaDirt]

I guess that is what I was wondering. I do not even get anywhere near the column like that. I pull the wheel...then the whole mechanism...unplug it....do the work and slap it back together....15 minutes tops.

[Damkid]

I've never pulled the steering wheel to change the wiper stalk :lol: but it would make it easier :lol:

[GenevaDirt]

very easy....lol. I never thought of doing it any other way.
