sourcing a citi golf tailgate wiper motor
Hi
I am trying to locate a tailgate wiper motor from a citi golf. I replaced the tailgate during restoration. I purchased the tailgate from Heritage but didnt realise they are for a citi Golf. The rear wiper motor mounting holes are on the wrong side. I have the original motor but dont really want to drill new holes and have the old ones welded and then repaint the whole tailgate.
Any help welcome

Can you extend/modify the brackets on your wiper motor to fit the citi golf tailgate. That's what I would try and do. It might be tricky if you haven't got welding kit to glue the modified bracket together tho'

Thanks for replying
I think if I cant source a citi golf motor I am either going to leave it off or replace the tailgate for a good used original.
Thanks Liam

Have you asked heritage if they will take the tailgate back?
