Wiper Linkage problem

**Deet** · 12-31-2009

Hi All, Have a problem with my Wiper linkage, Wife was using the car yesterday and she noticed that the drivers side wiper was working fine and passanger was not.

i think the linkage between the two has popped out, was going to look at it today and I cannot remove the scuttle.

I have removed the 3 plugs at the base and the wiper arms but cannot free up the scuttle.

How do I remove the Scuttle, Have I missed somthing? (i dont want to force it and break it)

regards Deet

The scuttle can be a right pain to get off at the best of times you need to remove the wipers first and will need a tool to do that or you will struggle..scuttle panel fits under the wind screen rubber at the bottom so you need to give it a good tug carefully as you can without causing damage..

here is the tool..
