Abstract
A method of mounting a vehicle wiper mechanism, wherein a wiper link is inserted into a cowl through an air duct hole provided in a cowl top. A hook provided in the vicinity of a socket joint at one end of the wiper link is temporarily engaged with an edge of an insertion hole in a cowl fore plate for receiving a wiper motor shaft. A ball joint at the end of a crank fixed to the wiper motor shaft is inserted from the engine side of the fore plate into the socket joint of the wiper link that is exposed through the insertion hole for receiving the wiper motor shaft. Upon completion of this connection the hook of the wiper link is disengaged from the cowl fore plate, and the motor shaft is inserted through the hole to permit securing the wiper motor to the cowl. In this way the wiper motor and wiper link are easily connected to each other without requiring a separate access hole.
