Wiper Arm: Adjustments

1. Verify wiper blade element condition and wiper arm spring tension. Run wipers in low speed mode while applying water to the windshield.

Observe the wiper blade that is chattering or skipping across the windshield. If the wiper element is not rolling over when the wiper direction
reverses, align the wiper arm. The extension bar portion of the wiper arm must be twisted in the proper direction to allow the wiper element to roll
over when the direction reverses.

2. Place two small adjustable wrenches placed 50 mm (2 in.)  apart on the wiper arm extension rod.
3. Twist the extension rod slightly in the opposite direction that the element is laying on the windshield while holding the wrench closest to the pivot

stationary.

4. Repeat step Step 1, and align as necessary until wiper stops chattering and wipes the windshield clear.
