P1000m5 Window wiper

[mrmagoolin]

I have added a Ford escape rear window wiper motor to my machine. Because of the 170 degree sweep it parks and starts off the glass as it should be installed in the glass not above it. How did you over come this or did you drill and install in the glass? Thanks in advance.

Did you install with the factory holes?

There are no factory holes for a Ford escape rear window wiper. And it is not a Honda window.

What specific windshield do you have and/or can you post some pictures of what you have there?

Do you have pics of your install? Does it swipe off of the glass on the side opposite the park position also?

I seriously don't know how anyone would answer this question. It's the rear motor off a Ford Escape, has anyone ever used that before? It's not a Honda oem windshield, what is it? It's mounted above the glass, to what? If it's mounted off the glass in the parked position, you had to know it would return to that position. I'd be looking for a way to limit the swing radius on that motor. Maybe a Ford forum? 🤷‍♂️

Check our some Polaris forums, I've heard of some of those guys using the Escape wiper, never seen or heard of one on. Honda (or this site).

Someone did it to their Talon on here and did a small write up on it but I don't recall who it was. 🤔 If only we had a "search" option.....

No motor. Park position is where you want. $20

I contacted the Psychic Friends Network, but still can't come up with an "answer"

Looks like this guy has a Honda windshield and it has that wider spot in the top center of the windshield that’s where his is.

Thanks for all the replies. When I get it done I might post on here and show how I did it. I'm out.

You have to drill the glass.

Let us know if your glass breaks. Maybe a 160* sweep woulda been better so it coulda been mounted in metal.
