7.8. THE WINDSCREENWIPER MECHANISM

The low type windscreen is a winddeflector so windscreen wipers and a demister system are not necessary. When you are planning on fitting the high windscreen you are obligated to fit wipers, washers and a demister system. That’s why we supply a windscreen wiper kit and a demister set

Fitting the windscreen wiper system:

Please be aware: Take notice how the windscreen wiper engine is assembled before you dissemble it so take your time. (when incorrectly assembled you can blow up your wiper engine and you will lose the warranty) When assembling the mechanism back together the arms need to be in the correct position.

The wiper mechanism is developed specifically for the Burton high windscreen and uses the original wiper engine of the 2CV. So hand in your complete old wiper mechanism when you buy a Burton wiper mechanism.

Drill the holes according the drawing with a 16mm drill.

Dissemble the wiper mechanism by taking the clips from the axles, then the washers and the aluminum angled bushes. You can then remove the axles by removing the nut on the rear.

-       Place the stainless steel plate on the inside of the body.
-       Fix the plate with the bolt which holts the middle bracket on its place of the windscreen.
-       Put the axles through the body.
-       Slide the angled bushes on the axles.
-       File the holes in the body until the bushes fit nicely in to the body.
-       You can now secure the mechanism with the nut from the inside of the body.
-       It is recommended to use kit to prevent water from entering into the body.
-       Place the washers and clips back on to the axles.

The windscreen wiper engine is connected as following:

>164: blue, +12V ignition switched
>23: white
>24: grey
>311 black, ground
In the latest cable harness a special connector is fitted to simplify the process of connecting the wiper engine.
