Theres a access plate at the passengerside under the scuttle panel. Needs removing, cleaning and sealing. Heard of it loads of times and my 05 plate had the issue but must of been happening for ages because it ruined the bearings on the blower.
So remove those pesky wiper arms and then the plastic scuttle and you'll see the panel. I lubed the wiper pivots at the same time to stop squeaks. |

Yep similar to mine.
Strange thing is that on my 05 plate truck when the scuttle was lifted the passenger side had the panel but the driverside didn't have a panel. Removed the scuttle on my 99 project truck and that has a panel on the driverside. Once you remove the passenger side access panel it is open straight into the heater with a small lip around the aperture. I guess another small cost saving by nissan. |

Remove plate, loads of sealant between plate and body, and even more around the screw fixings and a bit on top around the screw heads. Symptoms are... if you have rubber mats, the water is dripping onto them from above. Rustic

Nah the agro is removing those wiper arms
Took Bigbunny ages to remove on my 05 plate but my 99 project took seconds. When I refitted both they got a smear of copper slip on the splines But yeah these forums are great and have to say of all the forums I'm a member of this one has been the most helpful by far |

If it is good news, especially for an LR, like just completing a 200 mile run without breaking down, or having to top up the oil more than once, then abbreviations are essential lol..

The metal strip is a piece of galvanised strip from wickes, the sort to hold roofs trusses down to the wall. The strip is threaded M8 and the bolt, needed to be a long M8 bolt, but the double lock nut worked well, and the knob on the end just speeded up the process and is not essential. 10 minutes to make lol... Just one small "G" clamp really...

That'll of got it. Amazing how much crud collects in there isn't it. You can see what I mean about being open at the driverside.
Rustic, that looks like a foot from a bath or something. Great idea though. |

It was to hand rather than cut a length off yet another length of 8 mm all thread. It realy works too. It doesn't take much. but better than pulling it by hand, as Alex suggested, the bending on the metal work could just be enough to crack a windscreeen. Good tip and warning there from Alex. You see Alex, as you get older and gain more experience, and read or hear about things that might go wrong, or indeed have gone wrong, you are then able to use that knowledge, or pass on your experience. I'm sure several members will remember that tip. Talking of Tips... If you use something like the wiper puller that I made, leave a few threads on the loose nut, other wise when it pops, the arm could scratch the bonnet. Uncle Rustic.
