Rear Wiper Motor Removal

[jsheffield]

Hello Everyone,

This is a very informative forum. I own a 99 Expedition XLT. The rear wiper stopped working a few weeks ago. I had it checked and know that the motor needs to be replaced, however I can't seem to get the rear panel off. Is there an easy way to pop it off? Thanks for help in advance.

You need to make sure that you remove the door handle strap from the panel first and then the panel "pops" off, there are plastic/metal clips that hold it in place. You will need a 1/4" ratchet with an 8mm socket to remove the rear wiper motor. Disconnect the electrical and install the new one in and put it all back together. It's really easy. I used to change out almost 5 a day when I worked at the Ford dealership here in Panama City.
