Hello: From your description of the problem it sounds like the wiper arm is bent. This could have occurred when the windshield was replaced. You might take truck back to who ever replaced windshield and DEMAND they correct the problem. The w/w arm will have to be replaced.

I moved my windsheild wiper arms to remove the snow. now the driver side windsheild wiper keeps going off the wind sheild

Where is the blade when switch is off? Some of the GM cars in the 2000 years had problems with the post where the wiper arm attaches. The post will strip the groves when trying to move heavy snow. You will have to remove the arm, and reinstall it when the wiper switch is off.

How do i adjust the front wiper arm

your best bet would be to put shorter wiper blades on car, if the arms are not out of adjustment. you can tell if the arms need readjusting. by watching and make sure they go all the way down and stop ok without hitting trim on windsheild bottom. hope this helps ! good-day !

I pulled the wiper arm up to clean under it and now I cannot get the wiper arm to go back to the down position. I understand it's probably something simple.

first remove wiper arm again and ignition on then switch on wiper without arm, let it run few second and switch off wiper wait few second and switch off ignition, now it has come to the rest position so you have to install wiper arm at rest position. don't let it to move when you tight it hold it by hand, I think this information be help you if you think right way what i mean. is this information helped you?

Windsheild wiper does not remain in contact for the full stroke.The blade actually raises off the windsheild.1995 volvo wagon. three sets of blades, two sets replaced by mechanics.

Try this:

With ignition on, turn on wiper switch. When wiper arm gets to point where blade does not touch screen, turn off ignition switch so that wipers do not return to park position. It may take a few goes to stop arm in the right position so repeat process until it is in the best position.

Check main wiper arm and bend slightly towards windscreen so that blade touches screen and there is some spring pressure from the arm to keep blade on screen. Also check that there is no interference between main arm and the section which supports the rubber blade. If you get blade chatter as the arm sweeps, twist the end of the main arm slightly in the opposite direction to the movement that produces the chatter. It may take a bit of trial and error to get it all right.

How do I change the windsheild wiper arms?

Hi,
Open the cap at the end of the windshield wiper arm at the cowl of the Blazer. This will reveal the bolt that secures the wiper arm to the wiper linkage. Unbolt the wiper arm using a 3/8-inch ratchet and socket. Place the bolt to the side, as you will reuse it later. Pull the wiper arm up at the blade so that the blade of the wiper is pointing into the air. Then pull at the base of the arm, wiggling it slightly. It's a keyed gear, so it may take a little bit of work to break it free, but with the right amount of wiggling, it will disengage. Then you can replace the new windsheild wiper arms to it.

Thank you !!
