Hey all heres the story

So it snowed her a couple days ago and i brushes my car off and heated the car up, and then when i got in the car there was still a tiny bit of ice on the windshield, so i I pushed my wipers to go across with some washer fluid, and my wiper wont go any farther down then this:






this is driving me absolutely bonkers! i saw the post about just turning the bolt a tiny bit that connects the wipers to the car, and nothin, evevrything is still under warranty, and i just wanted to see if i could resolve this myself b4 i take her in!

thanks all

 

check your owner's manual. It tells you about this. It's called the "snow/winter position" wipers encounter any resistance they stop there. Have to push them back down a good shove will do it.

 

Yep, just push em back down to their correct position...its in the manual

 

so just a good bit of force should do?

thanks for the speedy response!

i was going thru the manual and i didnt see anything on it, but i was going kindof quickly! i will try again!

 

yup the manual even tell you how much force to use, too bad none of us have adjustable torque wrench arms built into our human bodies to estimate that force! lol

So a "good shove" is what is the technical human equivalent term

 

excellent, it worked, thanks a ton! that was driving me absolutly nuts! at first i thought i was just in my head and then i saw some pics and i was ohhhhh nope, thats definately not how its sposed to be! thanks for your help SCIONTC MICH and SPECT2K3


go ahead and lock this one up mods!

 

no problem, you may pay the kindly looking gentleman as you leave this humble forum.. lol naw, just kidding

glad to help, yeah lots of good stuff in that owner's manual! Glad you got it fixed! all is well now!

 

first time I bumped mine while washing it I thought it was broke at first, but they happily went back down with a little persuasion.

 

yup juss push um back down so ur car doesnt look like a jeep wrangler

 

thank GOD
same exact thing happened to me and i got so scared
i searched and read a forum before this that said to loosen the nut and adjust it yourself
i wouldve messed that up easily

 

oh and jiggaman i noticed your seats
