Wipers Parking in the Wrong Location Posted by Sepposam [Email] (#2131) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Sepposam) on Wed, 7 Nov 2018 10:04:29 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
A few days ago my wipers started parking in the middle of the cycle. They go to the normal parking spot (down) and then back to the middle before they park. I tried the suggestion in another thread I found, that is to relocate the wipers, but that didn't work, the wipers get stuck against the cowl and stop.
The connection between the motor and the wiper mechanism is accessible. So I think the fix is to:
1. Put the wipers up off the windshield and cycle them so that they're definitely in the park position;
2. Loosen the nut securing the motor shaft to the wiper mechanism and rotate the entire mechanism to the correct position, then tighten the nut;
3. Verify that the location is correct by operating the wipers with the arms in the up position;
4. Operate the wipers in the down position and make any necessary final adjustments to the positions of the individual wipers starting with the passenger's side wiper.
If any list members see problems with this approach or can suggest a different one, please let me know.
Thanks.
