[Just-in-credible]

I figured it was time for a quick and easy project, so I decided to tackle the windshield wipers.



I did the usual 95 jeep Cherokee rear wiper swap. I won’t go into detail about it, because it’s been pretty extensively covered. I got Dorman replacement arms from Amazon, and did the usual drivers side flip. This was actually quite simple.



The only notable thing worth mentioning, my local parts store did not have the 14” blade available. I Decided to try the 15” blade and see if it would work.



I got the blades to the shop, and gave it a try. Sadly, the 15” blade was a little bit too long, and hit the top of the windshield. I took it off and was about to put it back in the box, when I noticed that the hinge point was not in fact on the center of the wiper blade. It measured 7” to one tip of the blade, and 8” to the other. I flipped it around, and wouldn’t you know it, the thing fit perfectly! There is about 1/2-3/4” clearance between the drivers and passenger wipers when they are at the lowest position.



So the moral of the story is…double check things. Just because they don’t work at first…take another look at it.



Not sure if all wiper blades are like this, but I used reflex part number 021-1121-6 if anyone wants to try this model.
