Headlamp wiper park position
Ok, onto the next minor iritation with my 850.
Headlamp wipers. Ok, ok. I know people will say 'remove them' but I really like having them and I find they work very well during these winter months. BUT, the damn things seem to have a mind of their own when it comes to their parking position. Sometimes its nice, flat, against the stop at the bottom (not pressing on it) and other times its about 1cm up from it. Both motors seem to do it occasionally, but usually not together. Anyone else have this / sorted this? Thanks |

Rather than start a new post, can i ask here;
How easy is it to fit some headlamp wipers to a car that doesn't have any? Do people really say remove them? I think they look great and was slightly disappointed when i went to buy my car and it didnt have headlamp wipers. |

i would think the screw holes are there, along with the loom (brown plug) so it would just be a case of a small drill hole in the plastic "brow" below the headlamp and off you go.... If the brown plug is not to be found by the back of the headlamp then i would forget it as the wiring will be complicated... cheers jod |
Apologies-i should have said mine's a V70! Not too bothered about the operation, just would like them there for the look. On a 70 i dont think there is a brow below the headlamp? Would this be a hole in the bumper job?

The bumper on the V70 P1 is different for the headlight wiper to non-headlight wiper model...unlike the 850 which I believe is just a pop out plug on standard bumper???

Thanks Jod
Motor was removed, relevant item bent and then refitted this morning :) Time will now tell as to if it's a cure but was working just fine on the car when I refitted. |

The cure may not be permanent but it is certainly the reason for the failure... cheers jod |
