Passenger Side Wiper not sitting correctly

Basalt · #1 (**permalink**) 09-28-2007, 01:39 AM

Has anyone seen where the passenger side windshield wiper is not sitting in the correct location. Mine seems to stop about 1" above the black area, so its visible in the glass during normal driving.

I can push it down to where it looks correct (in my mind). Should I just take it to the dealer, or is there something simple I'm missing?

Thanks,
Chris

Chris - Take it in and have them look at it...

The wiper arms should be connected to a multi-grooved post and can be adjusted by removing the wiper arm connecting nut (after lifting the flap that hides it), then gently sliding the the wiper arm off the post and moving it to where it should sit on the windshield. It's not hard to do, just hard to explain with words. If you try this, make small adjustments to the arm, tighten nut, and test. If not right, try it again.

That fixed it. Thanks for the advice. All I had to do was adjust the Nut on the wiper. I was afraid I had a bigger issue, thanks to all those who helped.
