I've got a 1995 850 GLE wagon. The transmission on my front wipers has pooched and a quick search of the local scrapyards has turned up a 98 V-70 that is being parted out. My question is whether I can swap the wiper assembly from the V-70 directly into my 850? If not, are at least the motor ...

Thanks for this article. Just did the job and my wipers are working again!

One thing I'd like to add is that the plastic cap on my passenger side wiper was cracked and that one had the worse corrosion. The cap on the driver's side was intact and that side had no corrosion. I'm probably going to ...
