• Q: How to remove the front wiper motor and link assembly on 2008 Scion tC?

  A: A proper procedure to remove the front wiper motor and link assembly requires users to disconnect the negative battery cable first and wait 90 seconds to avoid activating Air Bags and seatbelt pretensioners. Start by taking off the cap from the wiper arm head on each side before you remove the front wiper nut and assemblies from the left-hand side followed by right-hand side. The removal process demands detachment of 8 clips to remove hood to cowl top seal followed by detachment of 5 claws and 2 clips to remove the left-hand cowl top ventilator louver. The windshield wiper motor and link assembly will become detached when you remove the 4 securing bolts while disconnecting the connector. A screwdriver wrapped with protective tape must be used to disconnect the rod from the windshield wiper motor while manually turning the crank arm to the specified position before removing the 3 securing bolts of the wiper motor.
