Wiper Arm/Motor issue & Steering Wheel.

Hi

I have just purchase a 1997 Maverick TD LWB to tow a boat. It's in quite good running order apart from some cosmetic issues.

The main problems I have are the wiper arms fixing point to the motor ie the nut holding them on seem to be rubbing on the bonnet edge. There doesn't seem to be any crash damage and the bonnet is adjusted correctly but the bolt fixing seems be able to be pushed back away from the bonnet to the screen.

COuld this be a replacement wiper motor or is there something else that can be done.

I tried undoing the bolt/push it upwards and tightening put it just comes back. I then looked at removing the plastic bulk head cover below the winscreen but didn't have long to look at it before darkness.

I assume is the screws on the top, un pop the rubber strip uinder bonnet and undo the wiper arm bots and take off arms? I suppose then I can look at the motors.

Also It appears that Mav runs straight not tracking problems but the steering wheel is not straight, I assume a garage would be the best bet as they have the tools to remove etc..
