Rear Wiper Arm shifted

Post by pld5j »

Not sure how, but it seems like my rear wiper arm has gotten shifted... like someone twisted it about 30 degrees clockwise, so now when you operate it, it hits the car on the bottom swing. Can this be adjusted back??? 2004

Thanks!

If the wiper arm constantly goes to and from the same spots, it might just need to be realigned.
Check out the pictures in this thread.

Just undo the nut under the plastic cap, inspect the threads, realign the arm, and tighten the nut back on.

Edit: please let us know if that works!
