Wiper Arm Issue

[Scolirk]

I was going to post something long but here's the tl;dr version.

My OEM Honda wiper on the driver side hits the side of my windshield when in use. I tried re-positioning it, but the blade is either too low or too high in resting position. It seems there's some give on that motor, causing the blade to hit as well as not allowing the blade to make contact with the windshield as it returns from it's wipe.

Is there some trick to positioning the arm, or is it worn & needs to be replaced? I already spent $95 on the Honda blades, and it'll cost another $90 for a new arm from my dealer.

Thoughts? Thanks!

Wiper Arm Linkage is your problem.

Thanks for the quick reply! Just called my dealer, looks like it'll cost $144.92 for the part, sounds similar to how much my Vigor will cost to get it's wiper motor fixed too.

I might have to live with the problem for a little while loner.

I ended up finding an arm at a wrecker today, it was bent out of shape a bit but after some testing at home, it seems to have fixed one of my issues. The driver blade now does it's job properly, no loss of contact on the windshield. That linkage is definitely messed up though, if I knew how to take it off the wrecker car I would have.
