Wiper motor linkage

[99superduty]

OK, the bronco that I have has a cage in it that interferes with the wiper linkage. What kinds of mods are folks doing to mitigate this?

Is there a lower profile wiper motor that is a direct swap?

Some Bronco parts houses sell a two wiper motor set up that may mitigate your clearance issues with the single motor linkage. Some of these can be a bit pricey. How much interference are you experiencing? is it just rubbing on the cage or is it completely impeding the wipers from working?

Pic?

It rubs to the point where it impedes the movement of the linkage. I can give it a hard push to complete its movement. Looking at it now, would possibly bending the linkage arm cause any issue with the movement. Could it really be that simple?

I'll need to look at mine when I get home, but it might be possible that you can simply flip that short actuating arm coming off the motor from 12 o'clock to the 6 o'clock position to eliminate the interference.

I say bend the arm a bit & grind if there's interference

I'm an idiot. 360* rotating motor. D'oh!

Wiper motor drop bracket?

x2. Drop bracket is also a viable alternative.

Drop bracket is also a viable alternative.

And at 15 bucks, cheaper than those two wiper motor set ups.

if your able to move it enough to get it going then can you space or bend the current wiper motor bracket? maybe put washers under the front bolts to tilt it back?

I'd be temped to try and straighten out the shorter linkage enough to clear the cage.

I recognize the Mechanix Gear Glove clip. Mounted one to the shelf of my garage so I at least had the opportunity to put my gloves back when I was done with them.

Here is a link to the drop bracket mentioned above. It lowers the motor and flips it 180 deg.
