Removing Rear Thumbnail Talon Spoiler and/or Wiper Arm and Motor

This was done for a Eclipse Conversion, but could also be done to just replace the spoiler or to replace the LED Brake Light.

First, remove the rear wiper arm. This is done by prying up the peice overing the "corner" of the arm. It hinges right up, if you have to put alot of force into it your probably not prying the right peice.



Once this peice is up, remove the 10mm nut holding the wiper arm to the wiper motor.



Now open the hatch and remove the "hanger" on the underside of the trunk. Then, remove the big panel.

Follow these directions to remove the spoiler:

Now you need to remove the 3 10mm nuts holding the spoiler in place and Unplug the brake light, and the 2 peices securing the wire to the hatch.








Now your ready to remove the spoiler. Both sides of the spoiler are held to the car with a strip of velco, so dont worry of the coners are a little tough coming off or you hear a tearing sound.

Follow these directions to remove the Wiper Motor:

Remember where you removed the wiper arm? Go back and use a pair of plyers to remove the larger nut, and the rubber peice the arm sits on.



The motor is held in with 3 10mm bolts. Use a socket wrench and take them out. Unplug the wire harness and it'll come right out. Sorry my pic only has two of the bolts in it, the other one looks just the same on the opposite side.



Hope this helps some of you guys out.
-Nick
