Wiper Transmission
-
Will the 48-50 wiper transmission work in 54's. I know the trim is different,
but will they fit in, or is the postion of the wiper motor too far to the right
compared to the earlier stepdowns?.....Thanks, Bob -
Bob, you are exactly right. In 52 the wiper motor was moved so that the lengths of cables from previous models made using them obsolete. The driver side was now needing longer cable and the passenger side shorter. I believe this was done to accomodate the twin H setup. I can't think of any other reason. It was really unnecessary. Anyway if you get the correct length of cable onto the 48-51 wiper transmissions you can get them to work but that gets a bit involved.Been there ,done that.
