Driver's side wiper not contacting windshield 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be chuck on  Thu Feb 6 09:14 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I have had the same problem a couple of winters back. I ended up bending the aluminum arm attached to the wiper spindle. The spring hinge at the end of this arm has a mechanical stop on it that prevents the wiper from going to close to the windshield. After bending this arm I read that a lot of owners file off this stop so it does not interfere with the wiper movement. This is an option. It is also possible that you have ice buildup or the springed hinge is siezed through oxidation. Make sure that it moves freely.

Thanks
