| Ok.... SOooo as you guys know, the weather has been.... Wierd lately. Well i went to go and turn my wipers on and only the driver side one worked. The passanger one just, how should i put it? Wiggled slightly back and forth, you can hear it work but thats all it does.... So I was wondering. Do i need to get a new one or is it just a simple fix? | |

| TAKE THE ACORN NUT OFF THE ARM. REMOVE THE ARM AND INSPECT THE "TEETH" ON BOTH THE ARM AND THE SHAFT. IF ONE OR BOTH ARE STRIPPED THEN IF/THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED. IF THEY BOTH LOOK FINE THE ACORN NUT MAY HAVE COME LOOSE SO ITS NOT HOLDING THE ARM DOWN ON THE SHAFT. | |

| Windshield wipers are those things that really piss you off during the winter and spring seasons.  | |

| If the splines are stripped and you need a wiper arm I think I have one to fit your car. | |

.  ITS THOSE STUPID DEALS THAT WIPES THE WATER OFF THE WINDSHIELD THAT CHP AND THE LOVELY STATE OF CA. REQUIRES AT LEAST ONE OF TO MAKE A VEHICLE "SAFE" FOR THE ROAD.  | |

3 THAT WOULD BE THE NUT THAT LOOKS LIKE AN ACORN (WELL WHEN YOU GET IT OFF) THAT HOLDS THE WIPER ARM TO THE SHAFT. | |
