Fit the cable tubes to the wheelboxes so that the flared
cable tube ends lock into the slots on the wheelbox
housing and back plates. Leave the retaining plates
slightly loose so that the tube orientation may be adjusted.
The short tube on the left gearbox is to support the surplus
cable outside the left wheelbox.
If necessary, gently bend the tubes to create a continuous
curve from the motor through each wheelbox. Be careful
not to kink the tubes. Check by sliding the drive cable
through each tube after bending.
Loosely attach the nut on the right cable to the wiper
motor. See the illustration on page 52.
Coat the wiper drive cable with lithium grease and slide
the wiper drive cable into the tube. Secure the wiper
motor in the receptacle with the clamp and insulators
provided.
Tighten all the wheelbox nuts and the tube nut to the
motor.
Install the wiring harness plug.
Don't install the wiper arms to the splined drive spindles
until the motor has been run and the park (resting) position
has been found. The wipers will park on the right
(passenger’s side). Installation and removal is described on
page 145.
TRUNK LID
Install the trunk lid liner (the fuzzy stuff that was with the
carpet kit) onto the inside of the trunk lid with contact
cement. Trim the material so that it can be pushed just
under edge of the fiberglass inner panel.
Glue the half-round weatherseal provided with the kit
onto the trunk opening flange of the body, leaving about
1 /
8
”- 3 /
16
” distance between the edge of the seal and the up-
curve of the outer lip. To keep from making a mess with
the contact cement, you can use masking tape to border the
where the weatherseal will be placed.
Do not stretch the seal while installing. Start the process at
the center of the bottom lip, in front of the latch. Continue
over the top and back down to the center. Trim the excess
so that the ends meet tightly.
