2004 Toyota Highlander Wiper Motor Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the windshield wiper motor assembly on 2004 Toyota Highlander?

  A: Begin by disconnecting the windshield wiper arm cover followed by stopping the front wiper motor assembly at its automatic stop position and removing its front wiper arm RH nut to detach the wiper arm. Reclaim the windshield wiper arm cover a second time to separate the front wiper arm LH through its corresponding nut detachment. Use the tools to detach the 6 claws and 2 clips on the cowl top ventilator louver sub-assembly before taking off its retaining 9 claws. The windshield wiper link assembly can be removed after disconnecting its connector and removing two bolts to slide it toward the passenger side where the rubber pin disengages. Use a torx socket wrench to remove the 2 bolts from the windshield wiper motor assembly after disengaging the meshing of its 2 rods at the clank arm pivot. The new windshield wiper motor assembly needs MP grease on the clank arm pivot followed by bolting it to the windshield wiper link assembly at 5.39 N.m (55 kgf.cm, 48 in.lbf) torque value. Attach the new windshield wiper link assembly by putting the rubber pin into mesh position and fasten it with 2 bolts at 7.0 N.m (71 kgf.cm, 61 in.lbf) before connecting the connector. Clean the serration of the wiper pivot with a brush followed by installing a nut to fix the left-hand front wiper arm while setting the wiper blade in the correct position and applying a 24 N.m (240 kgf.cm, 17 ft.lbf) torque. Repeat the same cleaning procedure on the front wiper arm RH before checking the wiping performance and avoiding wiper contact with the vehicle structure by running water or washer fluid across the window.
