windshield wiper help/questions
Allegedly el nino is coming gosh we need it bad. SO with that
1 I put new blades on mine last year but they are just ho hum on how they work is there somegood replacement assemblies you recommend that might work well 2 My switch is kinda haywire. Sometimes it works fine but most times I have to push it in as to acuate the washer in order to get the wipers to wipe. So best guess wiring messed up or bad switch? |

Re: windshield wiper help/questions
I replaced my blades with aftermarket OE style, think they were trico. Will get you the info Monday when I get back to the shop.
Most likely your switch is messed up.

Re: windshield wiper help/questions
looks like the switch runs about $40 so not breaking the bank but cost enough to want to be somewhat certain
I am thinking I may need new arms to its like there isn't enough tension against the glass if that makes sense |

Re: windshield wiper help/questions
Try cleaning your glass with bonami real good and lubricate the wiper towers so it sweeps with no resistance

Re: windshield wiper help/questions
On my son's 68 the only way to get the wipers to work at all was to push in for the washer feature. Last weekend I figured what the heck and pulled the switch from the dash then disassembled the switch. I was able to clean up the contacts with fine sandpaper and put it all back together-so far works like new and saved the $40 for something else. Took about an hour start to finish.
