Rear wiper question

[pill]

Hiya folks!

I am new here, happy owner of an e11"luna type" rolla. Have noticed that you have a very strong e11 community here, which is very nice, since I like my e11 very much.

Getting straight to the point, I have noticed that many of you guys are having the rear wiper in an unusual for the e11 position. I mean down of the rear window, not up.
Here is what I mean:


It is a torture! how did you do this ?:)
What special skills should I apply to have this done ? Since I am really bad in Dutch, I cannot use the search of your forum properly, though I can still use the google traslate for reading

My question is - what ajustments should you do to your back wiper gear in order it to have a resting position down the window. What about dirt drag, will it increase after such an ajustment ?

I appreciate any help on this!

Cheerio!

Hey, welcome man!
There is a tutorial on this forum, which shows how to lay the wiper down

hey my car

ill make some pictures brb

ok my english isn't good so i hope you will understand this

First unscrew this bolt and remove the wiper (this is the hardest part because it's a bit rusty)


then remove the interior by pulling it off (it isn't screwed but be a bit carefull)




then you ill see this:



1st remove the green arced bolts and take the wiper motor
2nd remove the yellow arched bolts and then you see someting like a locomotive ''drivetrain''
remove the big wheel and change the pin from the purple to the other purple arced hole (the opposit one)
then assemble it back and DON'T forget the wire on the yellow and green arced bolts

and my second mod is the 2002-2007 Corolla wiper arm


Cheers Bart

Hey Bart ! thanks very much for such a detailed demo!

How do you take the pin out ? Impossible task! Tried getting out with pliers - no luck.

Tried turning the big wheel round, but once you turn the key into "ignition" - the wiper is moving by itself into the old starting position

So I'm stuck at removing the pin ... do I need to force that ? the big wheel is made of plastic, so really don't wanna damage it.

thanks very much for your help guys!

tight the pin between this ''thing'' and move the gear in rotating motion

hope you'll understand my noob Englinsh

Thanks Bart! I absolutely got the point!
Since I lack that sort of equipment - the wiper work would be suspended until I find bankschroef
The thing is called "bench vice" by the way

But anyway, I have all the details now, so shouldn't be any problem.

Thanks so much for your time!

Sorry to bring up an old topic.. but would this be the same way to move it for the liftback e11?
