Default rear wiper angle change?

i searched but couldnt find a how-to...

but how do you change the angle of the rear wiper blade on an xB1?

i saw a pic in a mag of an xB with it done so that the wiper pointed up instead of horizontally.....how do you do it?

i mean, the wiper turns a certain way, but how do you get the motor to turn counterclockwise instead of clockwise?!

hope someone can provide me w/ a link!

Eh, my vote is to just remove it altogether.

If you really wanna do it, here's the how-to.

You don't need an impact gun... hand tools.

That's only if you have difficulty with the screws on the back of the motor...
