I want/need to replace one of the headlight wiper stops on my '98 V70, and have a hunch that I've come across an excellent re-and-re instruction dealing with this type of repair. However, my search methods aren't giving me any results, so I'm hoping that someone out there has this information near at hand. By the way, the article might have appeared in another forum, but I'm not choosy when it comes to good help. Thanks.

1998 V70 175K bought used this Spring - needs door stop repair when weather improves in YVR;
1988 760 wagon 260K, since new, perennial start problems, usual power antenna glitch;
1978 264, 280K, since new, finally gone to another - as yet appreciative - owner this past Summer : I still miss it.

    The wiper stop is just held to the the bottom of the headlight housing with a screw threaded directly into the plastic housing. You'd need to remove the three long bolts securing the headlight, unplug the headlight, take out the headlight, invert the headlight and replace the stop.

      Bill, thanks for the quick response. For some reason, I had the impression that this job was going to require a Shuttle Launch-like checklist, but apparently not. I'll get to it as soon as the snow melts, and post again when the job's done.
