Accessing the Wiper Assembly?
Discussion
Hi,
I have managed to push the washer pipe on the drivers side down into the hole and cant get it back! How do I get underneath the gauze trim to retrieve it, I cant see anything obvious.
While I am there, is there anything that I can do to reduce the play in the wipers, at more than 45 mph they dont switch off because the wind keeps them from going far enough down the windscreen to park.
Any step by step instruction would be well received.
Thank you.

Get the Bible.
However, on pre year 2000 cars (?), I believe you have to remove the dash top cover, then cut an access hole in line with the wiper spindle/gear and then feed the washer tubing back up through to the perforated mesh.
I wait to be corrected though. I've not done this job as, when I put on my Leven wiper/washer conversion, I was very aware of this pitfall!!
Hope you crack it!

I lost the drivers washer pipe when replacing the wipers with the leven ones nipple broke of jet then pipe disappeared down the void.
Remove both wipers and undo nut on passenger side and push the thread into the void with longnose pliers the purpose of this is to fish out the tube which are connected with a Y piece.
With me so far.
Undo drivers nut and push that in the void don't worry you will still be able to retrieve bolt with pliers.
I used common garden wire from b&q and taped the hose on passenger side to wire and curl the end a bit fed it through to the drivers side this is when you will need 2 people it will help.
I sat on the engine poking about as mate grabbed the pipe with pliers.
You can then reconnect pipe i would advise to cut a bit of the end of pipe and get new jets (leven supply)
Pull both bolts through and retighten nuts.
Refit crap wipers.
With patience this can be done.
As for the wipers im afraid there are crap a new park switch should help mine only park correctly when the screen is really wet quiet annoying.
Good Luck.
