its exactly the same as the gd except for having to break the clip.
1) take off the wiper (10mm bolt). you need to kind of wiggle the wiper to take it off.
2) take off the interior panel (im not sure if there were any screws, i dont have mine on anymore). but for the clips you have to pull HARD to pop it off.
3) there are 3 10mm bolts, take those off. after you do the entire motor is gonna come out.
4) remove the 4 screws holding the back cover on
5) lift up the arm holding the two gears together, and move the small metal piece (NOT the white gear) over to the other side it was sitting. then, put the arm back in, with the pin going into the proper hole so it corresponds with the new position of the small metal piece.
6) reinstall 4 screws and put the motor back on.
7) before you put everything back on: what i did was turn the motor on without the wiper reinstalled yet, and feel the motor and be sure its swinging to the right then back down to the left. if it does then you did everything properly.
8) reinstall wiper, put the cap back on
9) put interior panel back on

i'll see if i can get a diy up later today.

What he said. ^ I have done it to my GD and A GE. GE was easier due to not having to break anything.

The DIY is the same as the GD, just that you dont have to break anything off the plastic gear. The second hole is already there on the GE.
