The driver side window wiper sometimes doesn't sweep the windshield or sometimes it will actually wipe half way and jam the passenger side wiper. It sometimes will come off the windshield and get stuck between the side mirror and the door. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

 

lol, attack of the wipers! holy batman! umm i have no idea man.. never dealt with some faulty wipers... do they rest where they normaly should? next to the hood?

 

yea sometimes i have to get out of the car and push them down, and sometimes they just stop in the middle of the windshield.

CRAZY STORY BEHIND THE WINDOW WIPERS

so i was driving home from the mall and of course it was raining so my visibility was fucked. so i pull up behind a 1994 lude take a left at the light on to this two lane road surrounded by woods so there are never cops and he just takes off on me, and of course there is no way in hell i can catch him or even see for that matter. I know up ahead there is a sharp turn you are supposed to take at 25 but you could easily get through it at 40 when it's dry. so when i finally get up to the sharp turn i see the prelude ofF the road in the woods it turns out his he tried to brake way to late in the corner and his brakes locked up. he went through about 30 feet of thick bushes, didnt hit one tree and suprisingly didnt have much damage to the car. what a lucky lude, could have been my h22 damnit.

mine did the same thing last week during a snowstorm and it happened on the driver side.

There's a nut at the bottom of the wiper arm and all u need to do is to tighten it up with a wrench. Don't know whether that will solve ur problem but hope it helps.

 

well i went and talked to a somewhat of a mechanic today and he told me i need a new arm and blade. and i looked on tasauto.com and they had nome of the replacement parts.
it seems to me that it's not the arm or blade, but more of a power problem, because it seems to struggle to move the arm. any ideas.

 

arm and blade... what the hell kind of a mechanic did you go to man? lol walmart greeter or something? it might be mechanical... but it shouldnt be throwing it off the windsheild... try tightening the nut that holds on the arm.

 

i tighted the nut and now it works alot better but its range of motion isn't right. the end is probably 8 inches away from reaching where it normally stops.

 

i have some problems with mine sometimes where they wont wipe the middle all the way too. i just tighten somethings and then they work

 

I would pull that plastic piece that covers the motors and look at the linkage, it may be time to replace some of those bushings/bearings with new ones...they tend to wear out over time.

Some new wiper arms and blades might help too.
