The wiper blade misses the windshield in the middle of the wipe. Is there an adjustment for that ? I have replaced the wiper to no avail.
You have to remove the linkage from the wiper motor.
The 1999 Nissan windshield wiper linkage is held in place by three retaining nuts. Remove the retaining nuts and the linkage will come free. Replace the linkage with new linkage.
YES
You will probably have to remove the cowl that covers the linkage. When you do that, the linkage should come out then. There are probably C clips connecting the individual wiper arms to the linkage.
If one wants to replace a wiper linkage there are a few steps involved. Pull the wiper arm away from the windshield until the arm locks in vertical position. Unbolt the nut that holds the wiper arm to the linkage and pull the wiper arm off the linkage. Open the hood and unbolt the wiper motor and slide the motor off of the linkage. One then will remove the wiper linkage and install a new one.
The wiper linkage is bad. Or the wiper arm stud bushings (where the arms attach to the cowl) are rotted out.
Check for disconnected or broken linkage or a bad wiper transmission
Check your wiper linkage and/or the splines on the spindle.
buy a new one!
Check your wiper linkage under the hood and/or the tightness of the wiper arm on the wiper spindle.
