• Q: How to install the rear wiper motor assembly on 2009 Toyota Matrix?

  A: The rear wiper motor assembly needs to be secured by 3 bolts which require torquing to 5.5 Nm (56 kgf-cm, 49 in-lbf) followed by connector connection. Apply MP grease on all surfaces of the wiper motor grommet lip while keeping the hole free from clogging and filling the grooves with grease before installing the grommet. The wiper motor should stop at automatic stop before reusing the rear wiper arm and blade assembly; clean all serrations with a wire brush and if using the rear wiper motor clean also the wiper pivot serrations with a wire brush. Use the nut to install the arm along with blade where it must align with the ceramic line before applying a torque of 5.5 Nm (56 kgf-cm or 49 in-lbf) at the same time holding down the arm hinge during the tightening process. The rear wiper arm head cap installation begins when you push down on its two pins until the system creates an audible click. The rear wiper should be tested with the use of washer fluid that sprays onto the windshield to verify its operation while also checking for any body interference. Finish the installation with the back door trim board assembly combined with the back door side garnish LH and RH and a back door center garnish.
