    Thank you very much. My dad is old school, he is 73 and does everything by trial and error especially for us girls. And if someone else can do it he will figure it out too. Lol. He knows a lot but my car had to have this problem now. I’m like wait!!!! let me see if I can find it on RUclips. He was like, “oh wow. I didn’t know about those lines.” Yeah me neither. Mine are more faint but they were there. I have a Buick rondezvous 2006 and it worked the same, sure enough, we fixed it!!! Thank you very much for sharing and teaching us something new. It was pretty quick and didn’t cost us a dime just time, adding to knowledge. Thanks. :)

    Thank you so much for making this video. Ford put my wiper arms on wrong after a recent service and they would stop right in front of my line of site. This is exactly what I needed to fix it myself!

    Just done this on my 2013 Ford Escape. Very helpful, thanks !!! Only difference between the Escape and the Fusion shown here is that the alignment marks on the glass are at the pivot end of the wiper blade, on the Fusion shown here they are at the furthest away end of the wiper blade.

    Hey Nick. Pro tip here:
    Turn the ignition on before aligning the blades. With ignition on it automatically puts the motors in their park position then you can install the arms where they go

      @ptrck6 is this for all cars or just the car model in this video? You say to turn the ignition on to put motors in park position but aren’t the motors in park position when the car is off? Thxs in advance

    I had to remove the arms on my mum's van a few months ago in order to fix something and this was exactly what I did. Now I want to adjust my wiper arms because they park too far under the hood, and all I could find online was talking about re-aligning the motor?? Except for this video, which says to me that my first thought was correct, just do it the same as I did before. Thanks.

    I realized I had to do rhis. Got windshield replaced. I noticed that with new wipers the return swipe was leaving a dry area but not on the up swipe. I wo Derek if the blade was going too far off track. I moved it only like 1/2" and no more missed areas. I clean windows so I know something is causing the blade to bridge. . Too far towards the edge of the windshield makes the blade skip that area until it straightens itself out, about half way back down.

    • @Nickthecarguy
      @Nickthecarguy  6 лет назад +1

      Steve Davis are they align up correctly. Are you able to send me a picture of how it look I've had to work on those van and the wiper on them. Message me on Nick the car guy on facebook picture will show Nick the car guy. You might need a new wiper arm(the wiper arm might be stripped or bent) might need a new wiper transmission. Or a wiper motor crank arm

    Very helpful. One of my wipers failed to return to its default "parking" position. I forgot to clear the heavy snow on the windscreen before starting the car while the wipers were set on auto mode. I heard a clicking sound when the wipers started moving and pushing the snow on the windscreen. Later I noticed the wiper parked slightly too high. Will try this method myself. Hope it will work.

      What vehicle you have? I know the escape and focus you have to recalibrate the wipers. The fusion if you take your wiper arms off befor you put it back on turn the wipers on then off to reset the motor but leave the car still on when you put the wiper arms back on
