Adjusting the sweep of rear wiper arm?

Post by Mach2 »

I used the Search function but only came up with rear wiper blade info. The sweep on the rear wiper arm/blade goes too far to the right, so much so that the blade is hitting the trunk door. I want to move the sweep angle further to the left, so the sweep is equal distance from left to right. 2005 Vibe. Thanks.

Got it. Just slip off the plastic cover at the base of the arm to expose a 10 mm nut, remove nut, lift arm off the splined pivot. rotate arm to the left, slide arm back on the splined pivot and install nut and cover.How bout that.............and no blood either.

Well done Don't break or lose the cover, I did last winter and it cost me $17.00. I found the lost one when the snow melted in my driveway in the spring.
