Man, i wish all vehicle repair vids were this clear and straight forward.

Not only did I fix my wipers thanks to this video, but I feel happier having something explained to me so well and being able to learn something new. Thanks!

Great video. Well explained and no unnecessary drawn out narrative. Thanks.

Excellent video sir!! I had my windshield replaced at my house this week by one of those mobile services and the next day I took my car out in the rain and I immediately knew the windshield wiper arms were not properly aligned. I was going to go through the pains of setting up a second appointment but now I can do it myself. 👍🏼

thanks no one else had this. saved me a headache

Fixed my problem quick with the help of your instructions. Keep up the good work

I bought a new/used car I think the dealership detailer knocked the wiper out of alignment because I didn't hear it during the test drive. A few days later I heard thumping when running the wipers. After watching this video, I marked inside the vehicle where the wiper was, I lifted the hood to access the bolt, I popped off the plastic cap, then used a socket wrench to take the nut off and then the wiper easily came off and went back into its new position. Thanks so much for this video. It is the only one I found on KZread. Well done. :)

My wiper blade was acting up on the passenger side and I didn’t even know how to ask the question of what was wrong. You literally have saved my soul and gave me piece

great video, clearing the snow left our wipers on Honda Odyssey not getting all the way to the edge of the windshield. Exactly what I needed to get them back in alignment. Thanks.

You may need a wiper arm puller tool. They don't always come off as easily as the one in the video did. They are ~$15 on South American River. Probably have them at Dock Cargo or any auto parts store too.

Way to go Andy. My wife’s Jeep wrangler had this problem. Fixed both wipers in about 10 minutes, tops. Thank you very much

Thank you. My wipers knock against each other when they come down, I will use your instructions. And I never realized the effect of ice on the windshield on the motor for wipers. Thank you for that info.

I recently got my windshield replaced and when I used my wipers today the alignment was so off it was hitting the edge of the frame. This video was very helpful in fixing it, thank you!

My son passed this on to me. Thank you very good video!!!!

Thank you. It's exactly what I needed. Now I don't have to order a new windshield wiper motor like the auto shop recommended. (I figured it was something simple. I just tried to adjust it wrong-without loosening the nut, which then loosened itself and the wiper went wacko!)

Thanks a lot for the video. After my Chrysler Town and country windshield was replaced my driver wiper was completely out of alignment. Now I see what I need to do to fix it.

Just used this technique on my 2022 Mazda cx-5, wipers turned on while driving through a car wash 🙈 but this saved me a trip to the dealership. Very informative and helpful thank you!

This happened to me after I got my car back from getting a new windshield

I was not prepared for how cool that garage is.

The info. about the alignment marks on the glass was helpful. I’ve been a car enthusiast my entire life, and taking off and installing wiper arms with those darned splines has always been something I dreaded. I can never get them lined up, and “one or two splines” of adjustment only moves it by a micro amount. But, I never noticed the marks in the glass! That’s helpful info.- thanks!

As most people already said.. You explain it perfectly.. This is the first time I see an explanation video which is worth every time minute.. You showed the problem, explained a possible or common cause and then perfectly explained how to solve it.. Nice bro👌🏼🤙🏼

Hey Andy I wanna thank you and I appreciate this video.I have a 2022 mustang this past weekend in Maryland it rained all weekend and.. The passager side wiper arm.was all the over to the driver's side crashing into the other wiper arm. But your tip help me straighten it out. By losing the passager wiper arm and lining it up. And retighten the arm.It worked again thanks. I appreciate you 👍

Just fixed mine, thank you! And found out my mechanic left a spark plug in the water runoff channel…

You rock! I appreciate the close up photos in the video. It really helps me know what I'm looking for! Now, I'm just hoping tightening this is the issue for why one of them is not moving instead of the motor on the windshield arm.

Thanks so much for the video and explanation. I have the opposite issue that my wiper arm on the driver side doesn't go fully up, and it's really annoying. I will try out your directions and post an update

Thanks man... Good Job!

Good job 👍

Thank you for the help!!

Excellent video! You do a very good job explaining stuff. I ran into this problem recently after the wiper motor got changed. I'll use the tips you provided to fix my issue. Thanks

If I can offer any feed back, really good technical knowledge, really well articulated. However, a little slow getting through it. If that could be ammended, I think you'd have the perfect set up but I am impatient lol. But thank you, I now know how to fix my problem. Appreciate it!

Thank you so much. I recently purchased an old Honda for commuting and today on the highway the wipers were about to fly off from how far they extended. Completely out of place. I will fix this once I go home thank you for the clear instructions!

Thanks I was able to realign my wiper. My driver side wiper was hitting my vehicle as well. Awesome 👍🏼

Thanks man !

Great video man, very informative and everything.

How do you know where to line it up on windshields that don't have markers on them?

Super helpful! Thank you! I’m not typically handy…If it helps anyone else: I was able to wiggle the arm off without a puller tool once I realized that I needed to lift only the bottom section of the wiper blade off the windshield to reduce the tension and wiggle it free. Hard to explain…

How tight do you tighten it, do I tighten it until it can't anymore, I'm afraid to tight and it won't move 😂. 2020 Compass

Tighten until it gets tight then tighten an additional 1/8” - 1/4” turn to make secure

I know this video has been up for a while and it's clear and concise, but I feel like it still needs to be mentioned. If these steps are not working and/or if the retention nut on your wiper was loose. Make sure the wiper motor is indexed as well, as the wiper to the newly indexed motor. Lived in Arizona for 16 yrs wipers were never a problem in 20 days of being in Utah during the winter, mine was making the X shape while driving down the interstate in a blizzard. This is not a joyous experience and I don't recommend 😆.

I liked the video very much Now how do I stop the chatter noise my blades are making they don't seem to want to flex back and forth like they should.

I've never had any issue with this however I have massively rubbing too tight wipers against the windshield , can you tell me how to adjust that ??

Terrific video. Thanks 👍

Hello, thank you for this sharing video. I wonder if anyone here knows if aligning my wiper still covered/under warranty? I just bought my hyundai santa cruz last april. I have an appt booked next week but don't know if they will charge me to do this alignment...since the receptionist just booked me for ( wiper )service ..

Great video, very educational!!❤ Just one reaction: "If you sit on the driver's side, isn't the shorter wiper (the one in front of the driver passenger) positioned too high! Viewing both wipers from the outside, one can notice that wiper on the passenger side is set higher than the one on the driver's side. Is that all right?

@PhillipsVision

2 ай бұрын

If you use the windshield you’ll have them in the correct location. The passenger is slightly higher since it needs to be above the driver side arm

My driver side adjusted just like in the video no problems. Could not get my passenger side to move. It looks like there was some permanently attached washer holding it down under the nut . Is it normal that the passenger side cannot be adjusted? On a Chevy volt 2016

This man reminds me of Alan Arkin lol

What if the wiper won’t come off? And also there are no markers on the windshield on how to line it up 2000 Chevy impala

Can the 'tightness' of the nut be responsible for the wiper scraping and causing that awful noise as the wiper sweeps across the windshield? Or does it need to be pretty tight and something else is causing the awful noise?

@PhillipsVision

Жыл бұрын

It needs to be tights so the blade won’t slip, but do not over tighten. The issue you are having could be caused by the rubber blade being worn or dried out. There are metal clamps that hold the rubber blade, when the rubber gets too worn they will scrape the windshield. If that’s your problem, be careful so you don’t scratch the glass.

on another video, they mentioned some sort of "goo" to stick in there before reassembling everything. is this just optional or does it improve the durability or duration in amy way?

It may be a lubricant, but I don’t think it’s necessary. It may just make the application easier.

Are there gonna be actual alignment marks

Thank you for this video. I just recently got my windshield replaced and the guy left my windshield wipers all messed up. You helped me fix it.

It helps me but my car is different, I have an 08 grand marquis it has the same problem which is the windshields are not aligning but mine does have a bolt to screw

I've got a focus mk1 and the wiper blades do that 'squicking' noise even after replacing, could this process solve it?

@PhillipsVision

If they are not out of alignment it will not solve the problem. Could be the brand of the blades

Hopefully this works for me. They supposedly did this when I had my vehicle serviced a month ago. It worked for about a day then went back out of alignment. Hoping it's not my motor.
