Technical Any guides or tips to access the wiper linkages

[minimad99]

Can't get it off. Seems like one part is fit to the windscreen, and the scuttle panel itself plugged into this part. Should I try to remove the combo unit (from bottom of the windscreen) or just the scuttle panel?

:bang:

Morty, what do you mean by combo unit? my scuttle came straight off but it had been of when i had a new windscreen.

It's like the scuttle (big nasty one) is clipped into a "little scuttle" (some piece of plastic) attached to the lower end of the windscreen. If the big scuttle is to come off, it will be a straight pull up. If the combo comes out, I will have to pull it down and out in the directon of the windscreen's angle. Just afraid to break something...

Fantastic. Muscle power it is then.

Looks like one piece of plastic is still glued to the windshield.

Strange though, your wiper engine and linkage is on the wrong side of the car. Even the scuttle panel is mirrored. Doh!

Good reminder there Morten that if anyone takes off the scuttle cover them make sure you lubricate the wiper linkage

Glad I did mine when I had the chance (when messing with Alarm Siren)

Buy some new fixings from your FIAT dealer before you start. Then you won't worry about breaking them (virtually inevitable) when you remove them.

I think Fiat started with the heater matrix. Then they added the scuttle panel. Two guys held each part while robots welded and built the car around. This way, these two items are impossible to get to without dismantling the whole car.
