Hi guys.
My car was fitted with 'eye brows' which I've really Not had any strong opinions on, but recently decided that I would like to revert to standard grilles
The car is fitted with headlamp wipers, which I am trying to refit (I didn't remove them someone else did). They work and I would like to put them back on with the new lamp grills but I can't seem to make them sit properly.
I'll post images tomorrow, but could anyone advise on how to do this please. Should be pretty straight forward but when the two securing bolts are in the motor arm prodrudes at an angle pushing the grill to the side so that will not fit.
There seems to be a slight 'notch' in the metal work where it should poke or sit on.
I'll post images when I'm in the office tomorrow to show you what I'm trying to explain
Thank you.

Morning Fellas!
Right, the first images shows the motor from the engine bay. Each motor has and "L" and "R" on it, so this pic is using the one labelled "L" on the driver side.

The following pic shows the motor arm. You will notice the "notch" in the front bumper section I mentioned above? It obviously should sit in this, but doesn't....
So I cannot get the grille back on.

Am I fitting the correct motor to the correct side, i.e the "L" on the driver side (as L to me is left looking at the car from the front). Also is the motor (pic from the engine bay) positioned correctly?
Many thanks.

Sitting in the car, L is passenger, R is drivers.

That will be where I might be going wrong, then. I wasn't sitting in the car, but standing outside, looking at it from the front...Demlotcrew wrote:Sitting in the car, L is passenger, R is drivers.
Thank you. I'll take another look tonight.

one has x4 pins on the plug and the other has x3 ,pretty sure the drivers side is the 4 pin connector just in case the L& R stickers have been removed .

Hi Magpie. The stickers are there, but the pin number is a good check too. Now that I know which side each should go on, they should fit.
Thanks for your help guys!
