wiper linkage

[mk4jetta]

this is for my 2000 jetta.

Which way is the gold arm attached to the wiper motor it self supposed to face while the wipers are off?

ok so my wipers seized up this morning, so i had to buy a new wiper linkage assembly.

ive taken out the old one, and replaced with the new, but...

now i cant get it aligned, and i dont know which way the little gold arm that is attached to the wiper motor it self is supposed to face!

this probably sounds confusing but if you have done this you will probably know what im talking about. thanks

Re: wiper linkage

It looks like it should point to your left looking down at it as installed in the car (looking at the Bently).

ya i figured it out, but thanks anyways..

and yes it points to the left, with the bolt on the right side.
the gold rod sits horizontally pointing to the left, parallel with the linkage arms.

useless post lol but im sure this will happen to some one else, eventually.
