The thing under the bolt idk the name no more thread on the arm

 

That's right... how can your wiper arms strip out? They're not really threaded. The nut that goes on top of them are though. Are you sure they were tight enough?

 

the thing under the arm?? like the nut thread? that is attached to a motor so ud have to replace that instead of the arm. you cant strip the arm...

 

well not threaded but after we took the motor cover we saw like shavings from the arm hmm ill go try to put them on very tight to see if it works

 

if the nuts isnt tightened down all the way it wont give enough pressure to the wiper arm causing it to not wipe correctly

 

Yeah, the wiper seems to mostly be held in place by pressure of the nut on the linkage, not a thread on the arm.

So if there's anything that's stripped, it's either the nut or the linkage. Replacing the linkage is basically the same as replacing the motor.

 

Wow i feel very stupid i did it very tight and they seem to work now thank you guys so much for the help i appreciated it

 

no problem... happened to me before.
