Just wanted to warn others, and see if anyone else had ran into this.

After I got the new one all installed I mounted the lower cowl with the wiper motor and transmission, then I tested it out, the motor made about 1 revolution then it popped off cause the arm would hit the the nut right on wiper motor. The old one didnt have a nut on a stud, it had a torqs head screw.

I ended up grinding down the arm some for clearance, about two inches off the bottum closer to the wiper motor.

Working good now.

Also this new motor does the spray and wipe, then waits about 3 seconds and does an afterwipe. Nice feature!!

I noticed that feature on my 08 Taurus, the one extra wipe a few seconds later. It's actually quite funny cause pretty much everyone does that one extra wipe anyways. lol
