Anyone know why this would happen? It happens no matter what, heavy or light rain, oddly it happens more with heavy rain-

Thanks,

have you tried replacing the wipers?

 

Seriously... Have you looked at them?

 

The wipers are literally one day old, that was the first thing I did. new wipers, cleaned the window to get ANY wax or anything off it, I'm possibly thinking there isn't enough pressure on the blades because its fine going up, which makes it work more, but going down theres less pressure and less for the motor to do? Idk, or the bushings are going out somewhere

 

Hmmm, that has me stumped, really seems like bad blades.

Arms bent at all?

 

I had the same problem until I switched to these Bosch #4818(NAPA). Not saying your blades are the problem but mine were.

 

ok guys I tore into it alittle more, this is the case from what I've found-
the wiper arms moves in and out on the pivot point. Thought it was the arm, but it is the actual point where the arm mounts. Even with the arm off, the point moves in and out. Any idea how I can remove the pivot point where the like gear looking thing is to put a spacer in it to keep it from moving???

 

yeah I wasnt being a smart a$$ when I asked just for the record. sometimes its the simple stuff thats overlooked. \


you may just need to push it on better. sometimes there off just a hair and the part that fits onto the drive gear wont seat properly.

Id pull the arm off, inspect the gear, and the arm and see if you can press it back on better.

 

its not the actual arm, theres a like gap inbetween the pivot point and the assembly, its internal. im gonna try a redneck trick to see if it works.
