Left Hand Drive Gen 3 Jimny Wipers was created by Sargie
Good afternoon all

My name is Vic  and residing in Luanda Angola and now have a question for all the Boffins around,

I recently purchased a second hand Suzuki Jimny 2015 1.3ULP 4 Speed Auto Gen 3 2015 Model SV413-9 (E43), which requires some work to get it up to spec (also want to do some mods to retrofit it for off road adventures) however the concern I have is that this unit only has one Windscreen wiper on drivers side (this is how I received it), as Suzuki Angola is not able to assist with parts and told me to order online, I am now looking for parts (in Angola Parts are very scarce) and when I obtained the part catalogue it shows a wiper configuration which is not the same as all other LHD Gen 3 jimnys that are on he road in Luanda with two wipers

This configuration on the parts manual shows that the wipers open up from center to outside looking from front of hood to windscreen (Driver Pivots right to Left while passenger pivots Left to Right) while on the LHD Jimnys on te road the arms pivot from Right to Left

I assume that is why the previous owner fitted one wiper arm and blade due to the configuration

I have opened the front and the linkage in the vehicle is the same as on the parts manual (a sketch with snip of parts catalogue is attached)

where can i get the proper wiper arms as from the OEM it does not show what it is and also lead time is very long for the ones from the OEM ie 35days)

Being UK based I haven't seen many lhd Jimny in person and of the ones I have seen on YouTube etc they all appear to have wipers going to the same side, I have not seen them overlap in the middle. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Hi Lambert,
Thanks for your reply
I agree as all Jimnys in Angola (LHD) that I see on the road the wipers go to the same side awhile this one it overlaps and the linkage is installed as on the sketch, I have tried to turn the linkage which gets it to rotate the same way and then the arm is to short to go on the motor.
Maybe I should look for an accident damaged Jiimny and see if i can get the linkage for that one

Good day all, hope Sunday is good,

have turned the linkage around and fitted wipers arms that was located from another Jimny owner now the wipers rotate the same way (albeit the right hand side wiper arm does not seem to do a proper rotation)
