winshield wiper help

**RedLedbetter** · 03-31-2009

my winshield wiper on the passenger side seems to stick up. at first i thought it was just caught up on the other wiper, but it seems to be that this is the farthest it will go down when i turn my wipers off. anyone know how to fix this?

here are some pics

Any help is appreciated

If you take off the wiper arm you can reinstall it in the proper place. removing it is fairly simple, if it isnt rusted or corroded on the stud. I havent done it on my gp, but have done many othersas I use to work in a body shop, it has a nut on top of the wiper arm at the base, or it will have a little tab under the arm that you should be able to see if you lift the arm all the way up, off your widshield.

sometimes you have to use that clip remover tool, so you can get under the wiper arm and pry it up, be carefull not to crack the windshield.

ive tried this but i cant get the wiper arm off. i took of the black cap and then removed the nut at the base of the wiper arm. i tried pulling it but it wouldn't come up. i didnt want to pull to hard incase i would break something, but after i take that nut off do i just pull as hard as i can until the arm comes off?

Rock it back and forth using the spring in the arm. Overtime they get stuck to the shaft. I just fixed both my driver and passenger side as they were stuck crossed over the windshield.

If you grasp the arm and apply slight pressure towards the windshield and away from the windshield repetitively it should come off.
