Because they think it helps the blades not stick but it really does nothing but make other people wonder what they're doing.
warm... NOT HOT. water pour it over and slowly peel the wipers up from one side to the other. then pull the wipers back( up?) so they are not in contact with windshield when not driving
you can pull them out by prying them out with a large screwdriver.
Turn the wipers off, pull the wiper arm off, and replace it in the correct down position.
there are small screws/ bolts in the windshield wiper cowl(grill) all along the cowl that need to be taken out, then you need to pull up on the bottom of the wipers to get them off.
Pull up the wipers so that they are standing diagnally up in the air and slide them off towards you. Its very simple.
To turn on the headlight wipers on a Volvo S80, first ensure that the headlights are activated. Then, pull the wiper stalk towards you (the same stalk used for the windshield wipers) to activate the headlight wipers. They will operate in conjunction with the windshield wipers when the headlights are on and conditions require cleaning. If the headlight wipers do not activate, check that the wiper system is functioning correctly and that the wiper fluid reservoir is filled.
The windshield wipers are not automatic... the lever that controls the wipers have three positions and you will have to pull the lever down to the off position. The position below off is for mist. If you pull the lever to that position and let it go, the lever will go back to the off position.
Assuming you are standing on the drivers side, lightly pull the windshield wiper towards you until you hear a click and then lightly pushit back down.
Sounds like broken linkage maybe. I think... you need to pull the air vent intake grill underneath your windshield wipers blades to get to it.
PULL THE WIPER ARM UP AND ON THE BOTTOM OF THE BLADE YOU WILL SEE A LITTLE PUSH TAB, PUSH THE TAB AND PULL THE BLADE DOWN! GOOD LUCK
EJ says pull out the wiper assy away from windshield. Locate the clais in the middle of the wiper. Press clip relase tab and push the blade assy down. It should slide out easily.
To remove the windshield wipers on a 1970-1974 Dodge Challenger, start by lifting the wiper arms away from the windshield. Look for a small retaining tab or a nut at the base of the wiper arm; if it's a nut, use a socket wrench to loosen and remove it. If there’s a tab, press it to release the arm from the pivot post. Once the arm is free, gently pull it off the post to complete the removal.
