Stilo Wiper Linkage repair Kit - Wipex

8 – Ensure the mechanism attachments are in the same position as when you removed the old bars.
Fit new Wipex linkage bars – as the adverts says “no tools required”. Now technically this is true and they are push fit and you could push them on but I struggled slightly and felt I needed quite a lot of force so changed tactics. I used a small mole grip to gently press them into place. I found this a more controlled way for me to do it.
The instructions supplied with the kit explain the order that the bars should be fitted and the ends of the bar are numbered 1,2,3,4 and have a numbered photo. It is really easy.
#1 & #2 go on first with #2 being the inside motor linkage bar, then #3 & #4. #3 insert is slightly smaller (11mm) as it’s the outside motor linkage bar on the double ball joint.
This part of the procedure took approx 20 minutes including cleaning.


9 – Refit mechanism to car – as Mr Haynes says “reverse the order of removal” refit scuttle, this can be fiddly, take the time to get it to line up right as it will look odd if you don’t. At each end are plastic flaps that need to be tucked in or they look weird.
Refit arms, nothing special to mention here other than lubing wiper arm springs and putting a very small amount of copper grease onto the splines prior to fitting the arms, this will help greatly should you need to change them in the future.


10 – Job done, I found the entire wipe was more solid and a bit quieter. See next page for my overall conclusion.
