    Thank you. My problem is that only one wiper works, but your video gave me insight as to what to look for in the crank arms, and how to make sure it is aligned after repair.

    I have to say, “Big Thank You” to your wonderful explanation of the wipers. I have watched many and I mean many videos. My C5 corvette had some dirt and stuff keeping little fork from hitting stop. After hours apon hours of stareing at wiper mechanism, a little spray lubricant and back in business. Thank you very, very much!! David T.

    I have found as of late the spring catch mechanism which is what connects with the metal tab to be sticking in the closed position. You then have 2 choises; 1, You can replace the drive. 2, you can lubricate the mechanism heavily & work the catch till it moves freely. NOTE at the minimum, turn off & remove the key from the ignition! If the wiper drive decides to turn on, you could easily loose a finger!

    I agree with everyone else you are a lifesaver. I have this problem with my Firebird and I have been wanting to fix it for a while now just never had the time. I just got done adding a new radiator, thermostat and just replaced the water pump and now I am thinking might as well take the time to fix the wipers. How long did that take you about an hour or a little less?

    This video is very helpful. I have an '05 impala. My dilemma is I have my wipers epoxied on because the cone shaped parts with the teeth were all stripped out. I am going to attempt to just tweak the plastic piece and see what i can do to get it off of there. I may just have to cleanly cut it and (once again) epoxy it together lol. Anyone have any suggestions?

    • @davidterceira7451
      @davidterceira7451 2 года назад +1

      Yes, if it is that eaten up, meaning the splines are gone. You can use a little red loc-tite to secure it or if you are a little handy drill a hole in wiper close to shaft and add bolt and nut. I have done them both with great success. Good luck!

    I was trying to do this today I had bent the tab a few years ago and thought that's all I had to do today but the little piece that catches the tab is missing. So before you start make sure that little piece is still there without it you can't bend the tab make it work. It had taken me an hour to realize what was missing.

      Sounds like you're having a different issue, and I'm not sure if the wiper motor would cause this problem. Could possibly be the wiring from the switch to the motor. Best thing to do is to have it looked at by a professional, unless you're able to diagnose the issue yourself. Good luck!

    how did it get bent in the first place?

    • @AbnormalGarage
      @AbnormalGarage  3 года назад +3

      It got bent from turning the windshield wipers on when the windshield was covered with snow. It’ll push the snow, but the amount of force from trying to push the heavy snow causes the tab to get bent, and then the wipers get stuck in the up position.
