Swap the blade out for a smaller one.. IE.. if the blades are 21" swap the blade that catches to a 20"
The wiper motor bracket has a tab that can bend causing the wipers to park vertical. Either attempt to bend the tab back, or replace the wiper motor bracket itself.
The wiper arm (not the wiper blade) has a u shape bend on the end of the arm. So you have to pull the arm away from the Jeep, then turn the blade a half turn, pivoting it around the end of the arm, then pushing down towards the bottom of the arm.
Very simple - look for a little tab where the wiper blade is inserted into the hook of the arm. Press tab and pull wiper out of hook being careful not to bend the wiper arm in any way. Once you buy the correct replacement wiper blades, they will come with instructions. Also, you may want to view the videos below for Hook-End wiper blade arms.
There is a park mechanism on some Centuries that tends to bend if the wipers get used with too much ice or snow. You need to remove the wiper arms, then the plastic cown panels in order to gain access to the wiper motor and trans assy. Once the cowls are removed you may see the metal bracket that contacts the spring loaded finger on the motor has been damaged or bent. You'll need to bend it back up so that it contacts the finger again.
Lift it up bend it around and pull it down. If you can't figure it out it would be best to get the quickie oil change place to do it for you. Nothing worse that trying to drive there with out wipers on a rainy/snowy day.
The rear wiper on Odysseys is different from regular wipers in that it is only the rubber edge of the blade that is replaced when the wiper stops working well. A replacement blade can be purchased at a Honda Dealer for less than $10. To remove the rubber edge of the wiper, you have to bend the spine of the wiper slightly backward and 'wiggle' the rubber component out from its position. Move the steel reinforcement pieces from the old edge to the new edge before reinserting the egde into the spine.
this also is happening to me right now, and 600 dollars later i still have windshield wipers that work perfectly unless in intermittent, in which case they pause upright... Remove the plastic that covers your wiper motor just below the windshield. On the wiper motor there is a small plate held on by screws, remove the plate. You will see two metal tabs, one of which appears bent. Bend it back and reassemble. The problem usually occurs when the wipers are held in place, by ice for instance, and the switch is turned on.
One should not bend the wiper arms so as to contact all of the glass. Check for proper blade mounting instead. This will contact all of the glass.
The wipers of a 2006 Toyota Matrix just clip on. To remove them bend them backwards on the joint and slide the clip off. Installation requires the wipers to be pushed in.
Replace wiper blade and carefully bend wiper arm so it makes good contact with windshield
Just the same as most cars. The wiper arms appear not to bend back but they do. You need to stop them by turning off the ignition whilst they are running whilst they are vertical oin the screen. They will then hinge with a bit of force Depends which Laguna, The Laguna11 is fitted with Veleo wipers which have a long slot in them as you can only lift them away from the screen about 6 inches.
On my 02 I discovered that there is a tab on the parking mechanism that was not engaging on a tab on the wiper motor bracket. I just had to bend it some to engage that part of the parking mechanism. Easiest way to figure out where it is missing is to have someone operate the wipers while you watch with all of the covers removed. Do not put any fingers or tools in there while operating it.
