Rear wiper motor

[Josh]

Hi All,

I need to replace the rear wiper motor on my 2001 subaru impreza outback
sport wagon. Do any of you know what is involved in doing this? It looks
like the motor housing is right there in the center of the rear windshield
under a plastic cover. Is that plastic cover what I need to remove or are
there other pieces of trim that need to come off as well?

Also - aside from the basic mechanical tools needed, will I need any
electrical tools? Voltmeter, soldering iron, etc.?

thanks!
Josh

Hi,
How did you draw a conclusion the motor is bad?
I much doubt it. Maybe broken wire or worn out brushes
is more likely.
