Mopar Performance Windshield Wipers w/ Built-In Washer Jets Released For Jeep Gladiator

[Plywood]

I called my guy at the dealership and he said it would cost $400 installed. I may end up doing this before the end of the year.

400?? It’s a $100 part and 30mins install time.

What wiper puller you all recommend? Just checked Amazon and there are a zillion different types.

don’t need one. loosen the bolt, tap on bolt with hammer/wrench/anything and voila it comes right off after a few light taps.

What a Rip-Off !! Go to a independent shop I would say they would be much cheaper !!

So looking at the cowl I would think like everything else it is just clipped on ? And did you need to drill holes in the cowl to get the washer hoses up to the arms ,looks kinda tight around the arm mounts ? Instructions kinda skip over removing the cowl..

I attached instructions for installing the wipers. Gonna put mine on later today.

Yep seen this and looked it all over ..does not say how the cowl comes out clips on I think..and looking closely does not appear to have much room for the hose to pass though the cowl to the wiper arm with out being pinched in some way. Just wondering how everyone has done this part.

I just put the hoses through the cowl where the wiper mount comes through. It doesn’t pinch the hose, it’s just a rubber grommet around the base of the wiper mount and easily deforms to fit the hose.

Just tried this, and no joy. I could see plenty of others in a situation where they'd need a puller like I did. 2020s or 2021s that have never been removed are likely going to need a puller.

For those looking to do this: If the light tapping doesn't work to get the wiper arms off, get a puller. Don't risk hitting them too hard and messing something up with the shaft.

Outside of that, this is extremely straight forward. Run the lines, install the blades. The cowl pops off with a panel removal tool, the lines fit to the base of the blades without modification. If you approach this like any other modification you'll be just fine. The instructions are detailed enough considering the simplicity of this upgrade.

EDIT: Finished install. Do it right, and you won't see the hoses at all.

Advance Auto has loaner tools - the tie rod puller works perfect to pull the arms off.

Went to put mine on tonight when the arm puller came. That is well worth $10 - wouldn't budge without and popped right off with the puller. Same as @SPED1 my hoses are too short. Of all the parts to "short" us on why the cheapest possible portion. Going to just get an amazon repair kit to extend the line and maybe see what happens by connecting the hood ones at the same time.

@JeepCares please send an email to the parts guys and tell them to add a couple inches to the hoses after the y connector

Do you have pictures of where it comes up short? Thx

On mine the hose from the hood junction to the wiper arms was too short on the drivers side. Swapped around it was too short for either arm!

I took it all back apart last night. Essentially to get one side correct the other side is taut like a guitar string. Did exactly what @SPED1 did just in case I was installing wrong and it was worse. The distance from the final splitter is too short to go out of the cowl and up to the arm connection. Another 2" on each side would be perfect. Easy fix, but just another factory thing that isn't quite right.
