Morning peeps,,

awhile back the washer part of my rear wiper motor had broken off (like it when I purchased) so I ordered a new motor off fleabay to which unfortunately was the wrong one but according to them it’s completely compatible 🤣,, can’t be as it over wipes and cleans my boot lid aswell 

 

anyway this morning I decided to have a look at the the old motor and strip it down to see if I could modify the washer part to work???

ANSWER I think I can utilise the back plate off the new motor and put it on the old motor thus stopping the over wipe as the old motor is correct 

pics or the old motor disassembled, I’m hoping the back plate will be a direct fit onto the shaft… hopefully the aftermarket wiper shaft into the washer part is of the same diameter,, pinkies crossed 

Very best of luck.

Right update on the update 🤣,,,

why does nothing ever go according to plan 🤣,,,,

took apart the new one and the shaft going into the water housing plastic bit is slightly different… so I tried altering the gear mech as it was set slightly different to mine (sat in different position when in stop position) and that didn’t work 🤣,, so then I swapped the old shaft with the cogs on with the new motor shaft so that the back plate fit on,, so the old motor (mine) has now the new motors wiper shaft,, plugged it all in and hey presto the wipe is now as it should be and the water now sprays out onto the window …… Yippee 

Pics show that the cogs on new and old are different if you look at the shaft bitthis is the new motor above and you can see I’ve altered the cog to match my original motor,, just see the extra 2 teeth showing
