[V6-12v] Windshield Wipers

[Eric Ragot]

For future reference:
They are similar, but not the same.  The orientation of the connector is 
different. Thus, the 90 has too short of a wire to use the A6's motor and 
the 90's motor in the A6 stops the assembly from fitting properly - it 
works, but one bolt and brace cannot be installed. The motor is the same 
though. So, time to get some Torx heads and swap motors to gear assemblies...
Thanks,

Eric
