The winter's on it's way with its nasty, salty roads. This means it's time to take the clean GLT off the road and bring the Gli out of hibernation to face the elements.

I'd quite like to turn it into a REAL winter car, I've already got the winter tyres, the foglamps, the radiator muff, what I'd quite like now is some more wipers.

Does anyone have a good set of headlamp & rear wipers & is willing to post? I'd really need a complete set including all the wiring, hoses, switches & pumps (not just the wipers themselves) as my car wasn't equipped with them from new and I need to fit them from scratch.

Here's a pic of the rear wiper assembly from the blue leaflet section:



I thought the rear wiper assembly washed as well, but it doesn't look like it from that pic ...

... and this is the best pic of the headlight wash / wipe I could find:



I think they run on a second pump, which is fitted to the windscreen wash reservoir, so I'd need that too.

Thanks again, looking forward to any offers!

The rear does wash mate, there is a squirty thing that goes through a hole in the top righthand side of the boot glass. If no one else can help, give me a shout, but all of the bits *if* I have them will be on the island, which I'm not frequenting for a while, so can't be sure!

I may be able to help on the front half mate, but I don't have any bootlids left with bits in.

Chris is right, the rear screen has a hole for the washer nozzle. You're hardest mission is going to be threading the wires through the corner and round the bootlid IMO, as getting them out isn't easy! They seemed to be clipped in I think, or just caught.

I have the motor and wiper and other bits, if you could help me locate them Id get them out for you no problem at all, the washer might be a problem though as I dont really want to leave a hole in the glass.

OK, will do!

Just the front half is fine! Do you know where the wipers get their power from? The foglight- and outside temperature gauge wiring was all nicely in place, so I'm hoping the wipers are pre-wired too ...

Hm, I'm probably not the right one to help with locating as mine isn't fitted with them unfortunately ... Does the "blue leaflet" help?

Tom

Erm, Aymat has completed the task of adding headlight wipers to his Euro spec GLT. It might be best to ask him if there are some plugs. IIRC the length of wire on the motors isn't that long....... so I think it joins somewhere around the back of the lights.

I've just seen what you mean on Annie86's car:

Looks like it's just the wiper without the washer then. Shipping a whole rear screen might be a bit of a challenge ...

Tom

the washer dosent have to go n the glass ,

you could get an after market one and fit it in the trailing edge of the c piller just to the side of the tailgate,, that way you wouldent have the problem of feeding the pipework into the tailgate

The other way is to fit the pipe to the wiper arm with some little holes in it. Works loads better anyway!!!
Adam

If you want to do want Adam says, grab the parts off a 406, I have a few here to fit to my fronts when I get round to it...

That's a good idea! 405's had them too, works pretty well ...

Tom

Tom, mine has all the parts except for the actual front wiper arms, I should be able to remove most of it intact, lay it out on the floor and take some pics for you if you like. I was going to swap the rear hatch for my black one anyway, so I can confirm that the whole rear system works fine.

That'd be great, John! No wiper arms are OK, beetlebum2_uk (Joe) or Pete might be able to help with those ...

Tom

Okey dokey then, all being well I'll get over to the unit and pull everything apart tomorrow, take some clear pictures, and get it all boxed up. Can't promise though, as I didn't finish work 'til 2am.
Everyone do me a favour and avoid buying a Nissan Qashqai, at the moment we have 66,000 more orders than predicted, and are working a LOT of overtime to keep up.

LOL, John, I think you're safe from anyone on here buying a Nissan.......!
