[Guest srcfllslka]

Hi everyone I gave just got car out of garage to check over from it being delivered the other day and noticed the wipers sweep the wrong way it's a sierra wiper motor and was wondering if I turned the motor around would it reverse the sweep for me thanks

There's no "right" way of wiper blades working as you can find many different ways even on production cars

turn the end pieces that hold the wiper arms the other way up .you will need to remove them from the worm drive and reassemble .

The wiper motor shaft is tapered with a small keyway. Remove the arm from the motor and refit it at 180 deg and tighten the nut a bit tighter than normal to form a new keyway.

Think I bought mine from car builder solutions - www.cbsonline.co.uk

I used each end of one wiper blade. and sierra arms shortened and drilled. Each blade was held on with self tappers

(wiper arms were hard to drill)
