The motor and cover should be the same. Are you sure the wiper arms are mounted correctly on the shafts? They're keyed to fit in a specific location, but if the key is missing, they can be mounted off a couple of splines, which will affect their positioning when shut off.

As i said, ALL Marauder come with a sticking out wiper's arms , LOOK at yours car, they should be sticking out, Cheesehead i know u dont own phony Marauder like tjmorin82 just look at it,

p.s
and NO the cover is not the same i saw it on my cousin's car

[CBT]

So you want your Marauder to look like a Crown Vic? And you bust on tj?

Why would it be different? Is your cousin's CV an '03 or '04? I'm not aware of any difference in the cowl covers or wiper configuration between the CV and a MM, but maybe there is.

Anybody else care to chime in and clarify?

I am not busting on PMS just his phony car, any way i am just saying it will look more cleaner & smooth, and i guss it has that aerodynamic look :rolleyes: ,,
when ever you go over 70 or 80 notice the wiper has little shake from the wind, you get this easy do modifaction problem sloved and it will look clean , so how u been CBT hows work?

[bawazir]

Dude CBT is cool

[Pops]

Its the angle the picture was taken from! Thats why they look like they are down.:shake:

I didn't say he wasn't cool...just that CBT and work don't belong in the same sentence.:P

Don't waste your time... It falls on deaf ears...

[tbone]

Bawazir,
I agree with you 100%. The arms sticking up so high has always bugged me too. It wasn't like that on my beloved Grand Marquis!
I do think that it could be corrected by moving it down a couple splines. I think I'll try that later today.

[ctrlraven]

LOL

Dude all you have to do is pop the wiper arms off and then re-adjust them to "hide" with the grooved splines.

I can tell from your pic your driver's side needs to come up just slightly and the passenger side needs to come down some.

[Zack]

Welcome to the year 2002, when we figured this out.

[FordNut]

OLD, OLD news. We discussed this 7 years ago. Many of us simply bent the arms a little bit. Some folks pulled the wipers off and re-keyed them on the splines (doing away with the actual key in the process). The CV and GM are the same way for '03 and up. I believe the '02 and older had a "park" position for the wipers.

[RoyLPita]

Those 2 pics are like comparing apples to oranges. The cowl grille, wiper motor, arms and blades changed for the 2003 and up model years. Anything from 2002 and back are different with wiper arms that were either U- shaped or had a post for the blade installation, a 2 piece upper wiper cowl a seperate wiper park function in the motor. When the park function fails, it either prevents the wipers from going down and/or stands them up at the top.

When are you guys going to figure out that not everyone has been on this site from day one!

OLD NEWS! USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION! WE'VE DISCUSSED THIS BEFORE!

Why don't you guys start a site called:

"ReallyOldMercuryMarauderGuys.n et"!

or maybe

"CrotchetyMarauderOwners.dum"

And give the rest of us a break!:mad:

If you started at the beginning of the post, you'll see that there were a couple folks pointed out that the CV/GM/MM cowlings and wiper assy. were the same, and that what bawazir was proposing wouldn't result in any changes, but he kept on insisting that there were differences.

After a while, it's easy to get frustrated...

As for the attitude. Whatever.

Since every single conceivable question and topic has been thoroughly covered in this forum by you seasoned experts,:bows: I guess there's no need to continue this forum at all. Might as well just shut it down.

[SC Cheesehead]

Alternatively, have every noob serve a two year apprenticeship where they are allowed to read but not post. After that, they'll get their Journeymen MM.net card and will be awarded full rank and privilage... ;) ----> :D

j/k

We were all newbies once, and all of us learned pretty much the same way: Ask questions, check out links, use the search.

And yes, a lot of the same questions have been asked over and over again. Sometimes the answer you get depends on how you ask the question.

Funny thing is you go on a tirade and no one mentioned to use the search function. All Brian did was say it was old news and had been covered years ago and then he proceeded to tell Bawazir how it was fixed by other members in the past.

No one mentioned or suggested to use the search function until you decided to go on about it. Get a grip and let your beef with the search function go.

Hi Bawazir. How are you? Im fine. Hi everybody. How are all of you? Im fine.

Everyone back to your corners.

If Bazzlebear can finagle his wiper arms around so they don't show as much, and post the procedure for the benefit of us all, then that's a good thing.

If he can't, then let Round 2 begin.

Let's all ignore the fact that the 2003+ Crown Victoria | Grand Marquis cowl parts ( cowl top screen, outer cowl top panel, and inner cowl top panel ) part-wise are the same as that of the 2003-4 Marauder.

So ... Turn our heads. Look away. And never speak of this again. http://www.gdmjoe.com/nonono.gif

*And ya ... I DID research the parts via parts lists for the corresponding models.

Some guys start a new thread ever time they fart... and to be honest, after looking at members that have thousands of posts within months of joining I can only come to one conclusion and that is they have no life outside of this forum.

before you post remember this famous quote.."It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt"?

Ehh, there have been Bawazirs before he showed up. AJ was the most notable one I can remember in the nearly two years I've been a member.

There reaches a point where off-topic posting and vulgarity go from funny or no big deal, to unnecessary and inappropriate for a group like this. Unfortunately, from what I've seen lately Bawazir has crossed that line on a number of occasions, and being someone that pretty much doesn't care about that sort of thing, for me to really notice says a lot.


Plus honestly, the search function is an important part of using the internet period. You can go MILES with people that would otherwise jump your case if you can prove you've done your homework and still not found an answer. I say this from experience.

Dude, I hate to say it, but MySpace and Facebook are social networks.

MM.net is a car forum for people who own these cars and to a much lesser extent enthusiast non-owners and prospective owners. While it's not a pre-req to have a certain level of knowledge about auto-mechanics, it's certainly a plus, and there are plently of things that you should have a certain knowledge of that field before asking about.


MM.net is so far from being a social networking site it isn't even funny.

Tbone i just want to say thank you for the support and all, I just want say that yes am trying to entertain people with vid clip and photos, am that kind of a guy like to type and show. but you see the problem is when people actually cross the line with me i just laugh about it and play it along, but when i start crossing the line on them, they all jump on me and get pissed off, some how Mary send couple pm telling me to stop and i STOP to a point, I hope she dose the same to others, I get picked on because i am different type a guy, I guess most the member here think i should own a import like a Corolla or a Nissan, but i don't own one, i love my American made S/C Marauder, Is all about having fun and making fun. You see i always accept that i am different , but i always think everyone here are friends to me,
p.s
Some time i do search but than again i cant find my answer and start a new one.
Well i guess next time i be aware how serious people are.

Not true at all, i never thought i "own" this site, nor do i EVER take this site for granted or step on it negatively in any way.

Im not going to stand on a high stone or anything but ive delt alot with many members on and off this site. I have been given good deals or even free parts before and have given the same MANY times. Keeping MM.net a family is what it is all about, and noone wants to continue to help people that dont want that same outcome. Many can vouch that being a good member has nothing to do with "time of service" on this site or even feedback ratings. (even though it can sometimes reflect that due to a high post count is the outcome of many contributing posts for most "good" members) Its all about how you treat people, on and off this site, that makes you who you are. Bring something more to the family then you have recently, and pay attention to what has already been mentioned on this site many times about the same subjects, and maybe then, you will fit in better.

[RF Overlord]

tbone, you really need to chill. BluGruv and Matt are right.

Although mm.net IS technically a "social networking" site in the strictest definition, its primary purpose is as an enthusiast site dedicated to the Marauder. We're here to exchange information to help other owners maintain and enjoy their cars. If you are just looking for a place to hang, ask "Wassup?", and keep an online diary, that's what Facebook was invented for. Yes, some of that activity is tolerated here, but it is not primarily what mm.net is about.

My turn to sit back and watch...

Matt... we need another vid!!!

kthxbye

[PonyUP]

Tbone i just want to say thank you for the support and all, I just want say that yes am trying to entertain people with vid clip and photos, am that kind of a guy like to type and show. but you see the problem is when people actually cross the line with me i just laugh about it and play it along, but when i start crossing the line on them, they all jump on me and get pissed off, some how Mary send couple pm telling me to stop and i STOP to a point, I hope she dose the same to others, I get picked on because i am different type a guy, I guess most the member here think i should own a import like a Corolla or a Nissan, but i don't own one, i love my American made S/C Marauder, Is all about having fun and making fun. You see i always accept that i am different , but i always think everyone here are friends to me,
p.s
Some time i do search but than again i cant find my answer and start a new one.
Well i guess next time i be aware how serious people are.

Bazzle, you do get a lot trash thrown your way, but you are a good guy in my book. You have made me laugh, and brought some serious gems to the site. Sometimes your post's go to the "gonna get a MM.net vacation soon" zone, but you ahve always made me laugh. Your good natured when I give you ****, and poke it back in the right fashion. So you are :beer: in my book

The problem is that some of the new members talk just to talk.. I'm on this site every day and in 4 years have less than 300 posts.... you know why? Because I use the search function before I create a new thread.

Some guys start a new thread ever time they fart... and to be honest, after looking at members that have thousands of posts within months of joining I can only come to one conclusion and that is they have no life outside of this forum.

before you post remember this famous quote.."It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt"?

:soap:

+1.... best post this year!!!!!!!!

[Mac-MerC]

so are u gonna adjust your wipers Bawzir?.....

[Haggis]

tbone, you really need to chill. BluGruv and Matt are right.

Although mm.net IS technically a "social networking" site in the strictest definition, its primary purpose is as an enthusiast site dedicated to the Marauder. We're here to exchange information to help other owners maintain and enjoy their cars. If you are just looking for a place to hang, ask "Wassup?", and keep an online diary, that's what Facebook was invented for. Yes, some of that activity is tolerated here, but it is not primarily what mm.net is about.

Then what the hell am I doing here?..........Bye :alone:

[Egon Spengler]

I miss the shout box. That was a way I could ask a question without having to start a new thread and usually everyone was great about pointing you in the right direction... I guess I will start trying to use the make-shift shout box for that. There is a lot of information on EVERY topic on here, just takes a little help finding it! Many members can know a quick way to find a certain thread and point you in the right direction.

People with that low posts over a long time, usually are afraid to help because they know very little or choose not to help.

plus i enjoy disagreeing with Jim (sometimes)... lol

2002 wipers and earlier suck. I owned an 02 - I think it was a poor design.

2002 wipers and earlier suck. I owned an 02 - I think it was a poor design.Actually you're wrong on both your assumptions. I defer to people that know alot more than I do rather than offer useless information.

BTW- thank you for pointing out that the pre 2002 wipers suck. This thread can be closed now!!
