During high or low speed operation on a wet windshield, a metal-to-metal noise may be heard coming from the driver's side windshield wiper. This may
be caused by insufficient clearance between the lower portion of the wiper blade frame and the wiper arm link. This can be corrected by replacing only
the wiper arm assembly with an improved design part.
NOTE:
Be sure to save the blade assembly for reinstallation.
1.
Obtain new replacement (driver's side) windshield wiper arm assembly.
2.
Turn on the wiper switch, allow the motor to move the pivot shafts three or four cycles, then turn off the switch. This procedure will place the
pivot shafts in the PARK position.
