Just got my wiper linkage fully reconditioned, I used this video as a full guide to take out and reinstall, fantastic video .. wipers now silent and not hitting the body of car .. thanks again.. Joe from Ireland

[@DoreenC1981]

This video was super helpful! My drivers side wiper was seized. Took the cowel and transmission linkage all out, disconnected the motor, got a used linkage at the wreckers and putting everything back together. I’m a girl and not mechanically inclined WHATSOEVER. This video helped A TON! Thanks

Great video. Clear and concise. I watched the video, disassembled, picked up the transmission and motor from a used parts store, and reinstalled again all in less than a couple of hours. One of my easier DIY jobs.

Great video. Complete. Got my daughter's wipers functioning again with a lot less trouble than it would have been to figure it out on my own.

[@razcheung8398]

Very clear how-to. used this video to change the wiper motor on my UK-spec 2008 Civic.

[@michaelrosenberg852]

You failed to show the need to cycle the motor before installing the wiper assembly! I wish I would have known this when installing my wiper motor. Had you shown this, wouldn’t have had to redo my installation after following your tutorial.

[@gwhite0992]

if you purchase a used part, be sure to operate the part to make sure the motor is in the "parked" position before setting the triangle to to mark

[@renztampengco5665]

How to put it in parked position??

[@SoilentGr33n]

Great video. If you manually spun the motor by mistake (or on purpose to test the assemble) and you want to bring the motor back to park, plug it back in without the assembly, run the wipers and stop them a couple times. The motor is now back in park and you can finish the job.

[@1AAuto]

+SoilentGr33n Thanks for the tip!

[@SoilentGr33n]

I just did this job yesterday on a 2007 FIT. It was much simpler and smaller parts than the civic, but this vid was a great help. Thanks guys.

[@darrenw4173]

Trying to do this on an 08 SI. There seems to be less clearance with the SI motor. Any tips on how to fit it out? I can't seem to fit it through

[@JesusIsLord7773]

10:50 my 2008 civic coupe dont have marks and lines or dot for reference. How do i put it back correctly? Thank you!

[@39knights]

Perhaps too late for you but anyone else seeing this you can mark it yourself before removing. A sharpie or center punch/awl to scratch a mark you can recognize. A smartphone picture is also worth a thousand words.

[@akhilantony9245]

Will a 2005 civic linkage fit 2007 civic?

[@jacquelynslade6010]

Using my windshield wiper during heavy snow. I believe they poped out of place. I could still hear the motor working. Where would that connection be, if they just slipped out of place.

[@alilGoat]

How similar is this to a first gen Honda fit/jazz? 07 to 09 I think

[@eee2115]

Thanks for the video. Realistically, how long does this take? On my car, the high speed is the same as the medium speed. Do you think its the motor?

[@arielunicorn2442]

My honda city wiper slow and mid cannot move..just high..its that motor viper?

[@c.j7292]

Would this work for 2012

[@janicedizon1129]

My 07 civic’s driver side wiper always seem to leave a spot near the corner. I replaced the wiper arm once and seem to fix it but after few months, the issue is back. Do you think its the motor? Thank you

[@1AAuto]

+Janice Dizon While we cannot give a definitive diagnosis, that sounds like it is not moving the full length of the windshield which could be either the motor or the linkage. Having this looked at by a mechanic or disassembling this may give you a better insight on the cause of this.

[@dylanbelcher9519]

Help!!! My 1999 civic LX doesn't have the 3 marks to line it up correctly and now my wipers go down 1st instead of up and are UP in the off position! I can't find information on how to line it up correctly ANYWHERE!

[@1AAuto]

+Dylan Belcher Thanks for watching! If the wipers are all the way up in the "off" position, then you should be able to take of the arms and reinstall them so they are in the down position. When you go to turn them back on they should work properly. 1aauto.com

[@lentilbeanboy]

Thank you for the great video! Just changed the wiper motor in my wife's Civic!

[@angelyacab5751]

I need that part for my 2010 honda civic, how can I get it?

[@alilGoat]

Ebay or any parts store, online or in person.

[@msgmayjing]

How do I know if my car needs a new motor? My windshield wipers get stuck for about half of a second if the windshield is dry even with new wiper blades

[@1AAuto]

+Jimmy Zhu If the windshield wipers work fine while the window is wet, you should be okay. The wipers require water on the windshield in order to work correctly. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com

[@johnnycash7803]

My blades are stuck in the up position an can't get them down what do I when I put the new motor in?

[@1AAuto]

+Johnny Cash You should be able to still get these off the same was as if they were in the correct resting position, it may take a little more wiggling to get them off.

[@johnnycash7803]

@@1AAuto ok but when I put the new motor in I put the wiper blades in the rest position? Or the up position that they are stuck in now?

[@brockrich614]

​@johnnycash7803 did you ever figure this out? I'm in same position

[@lukis28]

Hey I just did everything but for some reason it happens it’s spinnng backwards, instead of up it’s going down

[@Ola_Uteligger]

Nice to get the hood wiped off every once in a while

Nice to have videos like this, when it seems like all carmechanics have turned into heroinaddicts needing to get money for their shots.

[@DebbieCarter-mo8ox]

Very useful!! Thanks!

[@dantonliam]

You align everything then the arms move the gears...then you are no longer centered on resting...

Thanks thanks thanks ❤

[@garycastano2430]

I uninstalled the old and installed the new with no issues but why are my windshield wipers going down before going up my windshield and stopping half way on the windshield? I feel as though the motor isn’t parking the assembly correctly.

[@1AAuto]

+Gary Castano It could be an issue with the motor or another electrical item.

[@dylanbelcher9519]

I'm having the same issue with my 1999 civic LX !!

[@Steamywindows0]

It probably isn't the motor that's faulty, it's the electronics inside the motor that's causing the fault. Before buying a new motor, take the existing one out and open up the plastic shield (you don't need to physically remove the motor from the assembly arm) and clean it up. It'll be full of grease so remove some excess from the spinning plastic wheel inside so that there isn't grease between the plate and metal contacts. Put it back together and the problem should be resolved. This method won't cost you a dime, will take an hour or two. If it doesn't work, try replacing the motor shield rather than the entire motor.

[@aakudev]

Thanks a lot, the cowl nuts below the windshield wont open for me, all rusted, i am toast.

[@jokeer14]

Thanks

[@isaiahbenavidez9751]

Huh I knew it they just blended 2 videos together they have a video on how to remove the cowl cover, and i saw it and you can also see the wiper blades are still on after he took them off. but hey if it makes it easier no judgment I just noticed it is all im saying.
