[TR] TR250 Windshield Wiper Motor and switch

[timthebold@ameritech.net]

It has been awhile since I did it so I went out and looked and remembered that the scuttle lid was off. I don't think there would be enough room to do it with the scuttle lid on.

I was wondering if that is possible.  Did you use  long needle nose
pliers or something similar to position the parts?

Those rubber pieces are accessible behind the plates under the
dash, right?  (After removing the glove box, etc.)



Thanks,

Roger

There is a rubber fitting under the sill on the
wheel box just like there is on top. These rubber parts
deteriorate over time and can crack. Im guessing that is
what has happened to yours. Its a fairly easy thing to
replace.

But now, I have discovered a new problem - isn't that
the way it always 
goes!

The passenger wheel box assembly wobbles when the
wiper is running. It 
wobbles less when the windshield is wet, but it still
wobbles.

I have tightened the nut as much as I dare - it
helped, but it still 
wobbles.


The first thing I did in this process was to pull the
wiper rack cable 
out, cleaned and greased it and put it back in.  I did
not do anything 
to the wheelboxes, thinking the grease on cable would
take care of the 
wheel boxes.


Do I need to get new wheelbox fittings?  Will that
help?  Is there 
anything else that holds them in place?
