How do you change rear window wiper blade on 2007 Pontiac Vibe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

See sources and related links below for wiper blade installation videos and information on the special rear wiper blade (its hard to find at most stores).

1. Buy the correct-fit replacements. The 2007 Pontiac Vibe takes a special 11" rear wiper blade for the special rear arm. You may have to go to your dealer or you may want to look into "Trico Exact Fit Rear Integral Blades" that fit these new special arms - you can find them online. (there may be others available too)

The good news is - specialized rear arms do not automatically mean the wiper blade is difficult to change - it just means you need to get the right blade for easy (and successful) installation.

Correct replacement windshield wiper blades are not only correct length, but also correct attachment. Never just buy by length only. Always lookup your vehicle in an application guide at the store or now-a-days you can 'lookup wiper size' online. The key to an easy install is correct size/correct part numbers.

2. The new replacement wiper will have step-by-step, illustrated instructions.

3. Most wiper replacements snap off and on, do not require tools and take approximately 2-15 minutes.

4. Consider upgrading your front wipers to the newer-style, frameless beam blades. They have many engineering and performance improvements.

What is the size of windshield wipers for 2002 to 2006 Toyota Camry?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The 2002-2006 Toyota Camry wiper blade sizes are 24" drivers and 19" passenger side wiper blades. See sources and related links below for more information. Since there are over 22 different wiper arm attachments, do not buy wipers just by length only. Be sure to lookup exact wiper blade part numbers by vehicle make, model and year for the brand wiper you decide to purchase. This ensures correct length AND correct attachment.

What if the Wipers wont turn off after turned on in a 1987 brougham?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Guess you'll have to buy articulating eyeballs. I had this problem in a Buick of about same age. In the Buick, a connector swipes a metal surface within the motor, and at the end of each round "swipe" there is a small connector that turns the "return" circuit on if the wiper shitch has been turned off. In my Buick, the years of use had worn this piece off and the sliding connector couldn't "find" it. The fix is not easy; to take the motor apart and to use a soldering iron to build a new piece of connection, small enough so it doesn't cause other problems. This is a "farmer's fix"; these things are not MADE repairable... so it is a safer bet to buy a new motor (I don't know if this connector system can be bought separately).

How many inches are wiper blades 2000 Kia Sportage?

Asked by Wiki User

The 2000 Kia Sportage takes 20" replacement windshield wiper blades on both sides front and a 16" rear wiper blade.

However, when buying windshield wiper blades be sure to always use the application guide book at the store, or now-a-days you can Google 'lookup wiper size'. You want to look this up because correct wiper fit is more than correct length, it's also proper attachment. Not all attachments fit all arms. Using the application guide or looking up wiper size online will avoid headaches of buying the right lengths with the wrong attachments.

Additionally, the installation process is simple. The replacement wiper blades will come with step-by-step, illustrated instructions and once you have the instructions and the wiper blades/arms in your hands and in front of you, it will all make better sense and will an easy maintenance task. Very simple and takes 5-15 minutes usually not requiring any tools.

If in your budget, upgrade to the newer-style frameless "beam blades" which perform better than conventional framed wipers. I use Trico NeoForm Beam Blades which are fantastic.

I would use a tap and die set to re-thread the shaft down one size.

Since it's just a hold-down nut, it won't affect the functionality.

How do you replace the water pump on a 1987 Ford Aerostar 6 cylinder?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If it is anything like the 92 Aerostar, you have to remove the air filter hose, then remove the fan shroud, then remove the fan and pully (along with the belt, then you can unbolt the water pump and it will come straight out toward the radiator because of the impeller shaft on the inside. It is about a 4 hour job for an intermediate mechanic.

Ford Aerostar Water Pump replacement Engine Size: 3.0 V6 Front Wheel Drive

Total time with new belts and hoses, 2.5 hours. I did it on 11/25/2006 for my pops.

Parts and Supplies Needed:

New Water Pump Water Pump Gasket Water Pump Gasket Glue Blue Loctite RTV (I Used Orange) Wire Wheel on Drill (to clean corroded bolts) 13 mm and 8 mm sockets w/ extensions Optional : new belts

Air tools are helpful if you have them.

Large and small ratchets

Where do you start? - drain coolant from lower radiator hose, keep it disconnected - remove top radiator hose - remove airtube from throttle body and airbox, put it aside - remove the fan (turn clockwise with wrench , jam a pulley to keep it from rotating, hit wrench with hammer, loosen it off the mount and keep it there for now. - remove two upper fan shroud screws and remove fan and shroud at same time - remove belts by loosening alternator and loosening power steering pump, remove small plastic serp belt pulley to remove serp belt. (13mm socket) (DRAW DIAGRAMS!!!) - remove pulley with impact driver (13mm wrench)

Remove the water pump by undoing all bolts - keep track of which bolt went where (DRAW DIAGRAMS!!! Trace the new pump and poke holes where the screws go.) - clean all bolts with wire wheel if needed - remove the water inlet feed on the old pump

Remove pump when all bolts are out - clean entire gasket surface - use razor blade - dry surfaces

Prepare the new water pump and gasket: - apply gasket goop to the engine side of the water pump gasket - apply goop to the pump side surface of the water pump ITSELF!

Installing new water pump: - make sure engine block surface side is clean - stick the gasket to the surface lining up holes - put the pump on, have bolt in hand to thread in and hold it - torque all bolts down, I do it by feel - reinstall the inlet hose to the new pump

NOTE!

On all bolts going into the pump use rtv on the smooth surface of the bolt and use blue loctite on the threads!!!

Let it sit for about an hour or so, look at your fine mess and appreciate a day�s work.

Then�.

- Reinstall the pulley on the pump - reinstall the belts in correct order (small one first towards the engine) - fat one towards the front., reinstall plastic pulley to keep it all together

Tension the alternator to take up slack in Serp belt. Tension the power steering pump with a �� drive ratchet in the square hole to leverage tighten the accessory belt, hold pressure and tighten bolts simultaneously.

Flush your cooling system at this point in time with a garden hose and sprayer.

Reinstall and secure all cooling system hoses - lower radiator hose - upper hose

Reinstall the air tube

Fill cooling system up with coolant and 50% water

Get in, turn engine on and let it idle to operating temps, check for leaks.

If you suspect a false leak drive it for 20 minutes and come back.

Job well done. Not that hard for a day�s work.

Where are the wiper relays in a 1997 GMC Safari?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The wiper relays in my 1995 Safari were inside the wiper motor housing. They kept going out because water would get into the housing. If you unscrew the front of the cover, you will see the circuits and contacts. YOu can clean the contacts, but the best bet is just to replace the entire thing.

on my 98 safari i thought water was getting into my wiper motor, since the only time they acted up is when it was raining,and they would work - when they felt like it - or when i would flex the wiring connector which led into the wiper motor - called my dealer they said it would be the circuit board, I removed the screws from the cover of the wiper motor which is the circuit board and with the wiring harness still plugged into it i pulled it towards me to reveal the components on the other side, the relay is the first the you see when you follow the wiring into the circuit board, you will see 4 to 5 solder points connecting the relay to the circuit board, these solder joints worked loose, to repair simply resolder adding additional solder.

The boards are releativley cheap at the auto stores, but before spending the money try unplugging and replugging the connectors to the boards.

What is motor control?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"Motor control" generally refers to the physical dexterity of a human or other animal.

It is primarily affected by two things:

Physical condition: general bone/muscle structure

Mental condition: ability of the brain to interact with the muscle system. Typically divided into rapid motor control (ability to create rapid gestures that cause significant motion) and fine motor control (the maximum level of precision that can be achieved)
