Wipers point straight up in the off position. So I took the wiper motor off cleaned and lubricated all the pieces. But as I was putting the wind latch back on I made a mistake and popped the spring out of the tail end of the wind latch and now I have no idea how to insert the spring back in to where it stays. What should I do because I’m at the point of defeat?

Hello,

In the diagrams down below I have included the instructions for the removal and installation of the wiper linkage, control module, and the wiper arm for you. Please go through these guides and get back to us with how everything turns out. I hope that this helps.

Thanks,
Alex
