Wiper Arm: Adjustments

1. Cycle the wiper motor into the PARK position.

Arm Adjustment:




2. Check the tips of the blades in blackout area. From the bottom edge of the windshield to the blade should be no closer than 24 mm (1 in.).
3. Operate the wipers if the requirements are not met, check linkage and pivot assembly for worn parts.
4. During high speed wet glass operation, the right hand blade tip may override the cowl screen slightly This is normal and should not affect the wiper system's performance.
5. The wiper arm is supplied with a plastic key insert that aligns with a slot in the pivot.
6. In the event that the wiper blade tip excessively strikes:
- Glass molding
- Cowl screen
7. Due to long term normal wear, remove the plastic key from wiper arm and reposition the arm on the pivot with the wipers in the PARK position only.
