wiper motor wire

Post by Mark McCombs » Sun May 09, 2021 2:01 pm

Is it possible to use a wire puller to snake a replacement wiper motor wire thru the inside of the windshield frame?

I doubt my frame has been apart and dont want to damage anything or risk cracking the glass in removing the end of the windshield frame where the wire is routed...

Tips accepted!

Mark, can you not use the existing wire to pull a new one through. It may need the wires soldering together to get it through as a knot would be too big.

To be honest I think your chances are slim. If the old cable is still in place, tug one end and check the other to see if it can be drawn through. If it does move obviously Norman's suggestion has a chance. If it doesn't, tant pis as the french say. If the old cable is absent and you're attempting to fit a new one ', feeding a 'snake' round inside the frame seems improbable. Still, you won't know unil you try........ :)
