Hi, just reg. to post here, I have a 99 forester, and the rear wipper motor went out, got a rebuild from auto zone.

I installed it and WTH, the park is oposit from what it should be.

I took the wipper arm and put it in a vice and reversed the bend in the arm. but it still over wipes on paint from the tail of the blade. I can try to get a smaller blade. but has any one had a problem with the park going in the oposite side?

I called auto zone and checked the part number, it is the right part, their soloution is to just take it back and get my money back. Nothing can be simple.

It's possible the part they have is just a generic motor. You might want to see if you can find a used motor in a junkyard.

 

If you don't have any around you, I'd suggest calling up these places
