Windshield Wiper Slap...Slap...Slap...

[Ernzo]

My Drivers wiper slaps on the bottom of the molding, all the way down in the 'parked' position. It does it only on 'high'.I adjusted the arm on the pin, but aparently a bushing is worn as it now hits on both ends of the cycle! My question is, anybody ever drill in and get to that problem? Any ideas of where to start, what I will need? Thanks!

i have the same problem

I had the same problem on my J-10. My solution was to determine exactly where the wiper arm was hitting, and running a bead of clear silicone, about 1/4 " thick, and about an inch long, along the chrome windshield trim where it hit, and letting it cure. That did not stop the slapping, but it sure took all the noise out of it.

I have the same problem on my 85 but both wipers will slap . then some tine the will both work fine and park were they are suppose to then other times they will park 8 inches from the bottom . I'v checked the linkage and the motor and have not found any slack any one have a fix let us know

yep, pretty common. mine last gwag slapped top and bottom on the drivers side. probably did that from new

My '88's left wiper hit on the side and the right hit on the bottom.Adjusting the arms on the pivots solved my problem,but if youv'e tried this and it still hits then you may have a worn bushing.

COol Ram, do you know where that bushing is? I am thinking that it is center, behind the glove box. In any event, that is where I will start. Thanks!
