- With the wiper arm properly indexed, push the wiper arm onto the pivot shaft.
- Install and tighten the rear wiper arm nut to the proper torque. Refer to TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS .
- Close the plastic pivot cover over the nut.
- Wet the liftgate glass then operate the rear wiper. Turn the rear wiper switch to the OFF position, then check for correct wiper arm position. If it is not positioned properly, repeat the alignment process.
