I’m trying to reassemble my blower box and wiper assembly. I’m having trouble with the back of the blower box hitting the wiper motor and not allowing the blower box to come up enough the make a seal on the vent grate. Is it really that tight of fit or do I have something wrong? The wiper motor rests on the back of the blower box. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

The wiper motor needs to swing backwards a bit more. Not sure how to tell you how to do that....it just has to happen. Push on the wiper assembly a bit and it should move or swing more towards the rear of the car, |

The wiper assembly attaches to the front bulkhead with a rubber buffer like this one.
It keeps it tucked back in the right location. https://www.belmetric.com/metric-rubber-buf...fer-p-5692.html Edit : Found this shot in The Samba  |

I must have something a little off but can’t think of anything to change but a shorter buffer. That bracket is beefy so I know it didn’t bend. |

Shane, not sure how to best explain it.
Mine did the same thing as yours....blower was hitting the wiper assembly. My wiper assembly while loosely bolted in would rock back or pivot a little more to the rear. You don’t have to force anything or bend something. Loosen up the 2 big nuts on the outside of the cowl and press a bit on the lower part of the wiper assembly. Mine pivoted back a notch when I did that. Good luck. |

Great thanks, I will give it a try like you said. |
