Steps
Mark and remove the wiper arms
Place tape on the windshield at each blade tip to record its parked position. Remove the arm caps and retaining nuts, then rock each arm gently off its splines.
Reinstall the wiper arms
Align each arm with its tape mark and press it fully onto the shaft. Tighten the retaining nuts to specification and replace the caps.
Test the sweep and park position
Run the wipers at low and high speed with the windshield wet. Confirm both arms park below the driver’s sightline and do not strike the trim.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
