Removal
1. Prepare the car for work (see "Preparing the car for maintenance and repair").
2. Remove the battery (see "Battery - Removal and Installation").
3. Remove the decorative plastic cap of the left wiper arm mounting nut.
4. With a spanner by 10 mm unscrew the lever mounting nut.
5. Remove the lever from the shaft and mark it with a marker (right or left).
Advice: If the lever fits tightly on the shaft, then we screw the nut onto the shaft thread and press the lever using sliding pliers (see "Rear Window Wiper - Removal and Installation").
6. Remove the right lever in the same way.
7. Using a thin slotted screwdriver, remove the four decorative plugs covering the screws of the upper air intake grille mount.
8. Remove the engine compartment partition seal.
9. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the four screws securing the upper air intake grille and the six screws securing the right and left parts of the engine compartment trim to the air intake grille.
10. With a socket wrench by 10 mm we unscrew the two nuts of the right and left fastenings of the air intake grille to the body brackets.
11. Disconnect the hose from the windshield washer pump.
12. Pulling the washer hose out of the engine compartment bulkhead, remove the air intake grille.
Installation
We install the air intake grille in the reverse order. At the same time, we put the windshield wiper arms on the shafts in accordance with the marks.
