I followed it step by step, easier as per how2 and take the whole mechanism out. I didnt use nuts/bolts to refix the cover for the motor as I just re pop-rivetted it with new rivets

You 'may' be able to just unbolt the motor from the linkage.. Not sure on the access to it with the linkage in situ...

mmmmm cheers mate i may be able to get my hands on a rivet gun...thanks again mate...

just a thought but my washer bottle actually works so surely its not a earth problem?????????????????????????

as per pm, the earth problem just relates to the self-park cam/switch so nothing to do with the washers.

hi mat cheers but that i believe refers to when you wipe screen but wipers are frozen to screen causing the linkage to end up mis aligned, my went faulty when on the move for no reason and like plasma has pointed out its the earth strap with the motor itself, the kid who posted the how2 then after fitting new strap fillsand lubrictates everything with a grease which i havent got therefore wondering i can use copper grease, if you think it maybe another problem i'd appreciate your advice, thanks mate lol love the little car

I had the same problem of the wipers stopping at the top of the screen rather than the bottom where they usually sit.I have read all the post that was saying it is the motor or the linkage but i took it to my mate who tinkers with cars and asked him to have a look at it .
He got me to put on the window wipers on while he held down the wipers at the correct parking position were they should be and that has fixed the fault.The wipers are now working perfect so mabay worth giving it a try to anyone with this fault before replacing the motor.

I have the same problem with the wipers not parking in the correct position.
Tried holding the wipers but when let go they wipe then return to the wrong position. Very annoying !

If anyone has an idea of a fix please PM me.
Many thanks....
