URGENT!!!! Single Wiper Problem

[Renman8957]

Hi guys, basically I've fitted a single wiper conversion kit to my mk2 golf, don't need opinions on that, but I've run into a problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJuIpXHV4Rk Any ideas, quickly, before it starts raining. Thanks guys

and an explaination for those of us that can't watch youtube? I.E. we are at work.

There is very very little movement, like 5 to 10 degrees either side, instead of the 70-90ish degrees it should move either side. I had the wiper in the centre position to demonstrate this, it is not where the wiper will be resting

[Agreeable Slick]

I will assume this is a tried and tested motor that you have done the conversion with? I.E. it rotates through the full 90(ish) degrees that it is meant to?

[Renman8957]

The mechanism turns the whole way round like I believe it should, but the motor came with it so you could be right

[rubjonny]

sounds like a linkage problem. all the motor does is spin round 360 degrees, it doesnrt spin backwards and forwards to move the wiper. one of the linkages on the kit is wrong, this is why its not doing the full movement

Take the POS back off, throw it in the bin and fit the proper wiper set up.

The linkage needed to be criss-crossed and wasn't, simple fix I'm just special
