wipers going off windshield

By Adrian91
- Mon Oct 25, 2010 4:35 am #219855 So when it rains bad, i gotta throw my wipers on fast obvisouly, but when i do the driver side wiper goes like off the windshield at the top and since i got the rainx ones, it curves when it goes off and slaps the driver side window. Any idea on a fix?

had to laugh just the way you described it. lol.

unbolt the wiper arm 10mm and turn the arm down a few teeth.. make sure wipers are off and at the bottom of the windshield. when it's off it should be lined up on the cowl a bit. no more then half inch away from the plastic part of the bottom of the windshield.

Or your wiper on that side must be too long. when you get the set the shorter on goes on the driver side.. longer wiper on passenger side. it should be 21"passenger/19"driver or 20"/18" for wiper size
