Has anyone successfully relocated wiper motor?

Just like the title says. I would like to keep my wipers working but i would like it moved for extra space in engine bay. Found one thread with one reply saying you can't do it and that doesn't satisfy me.

All you have to do is figure out where you want to place the wiper motor, and then figure out a new linkage to operate the blades. Let us know how you do it.

Yea i have never messed with wiper motors before but worst thing that can happen is i have to get a new one for 20 bucks. So game on!

Best way would be to put it under the cowl, then it would be hidden and still function. You would just need to maybe lengthin the wires and any other components involved. The main thing with removing the wiper motor is making sure you mark or keep everything lined up correctly. It sucks when it gets off time, can be a pain to reset sometimes. So if your getting a new one before you install. What I do is plug it in and cycle the wiper motor with the switch so it goes back to the rest position and install is easier and timing will be on. Just make sure someone is holding the motor or its secure, they can jump from all the torque they have If not carfull.

Yea that would suck having wipers dancing around crazy. I am gonna take my time and see what i can come up with.
