My front wiper motor has packed up and when i looked at changing it couldn't see how u got to it looks enclosed by plastic trim which goes up to windscreen no fixings on it . Does it just pull off or will this break it ? Any advice much appreciated .

I had to remove the scuttle panel over the wipers when I had a leak problem. here is a link to how I did it.

Be careful when putting the panel back. You can crack the windscreen. Clean the panel completely and then spray with WD40

A friend of mine has just replaced the motor on his golf, check the linkage has'nt seized, thats what caused the motor to blow on his.
