Hi Ben,

I disconnected both pivot arms to get the whole thing out. (I reattached them for these pictures). The four empty grommets you see are the mounting holes for the brackets up under the dash. It was fairly simple actually. But if I remember correctly, the brackets under the dash go between the moving arms and the aluminum plate.

Does that help?

I wrote an article years ago, should still be in the Tech Section on the web site "T2 Wiper Motor R&R" or similar. No pictures, but I believe the description will suffice.
