Been at this for 5 hours trying to get the wipers aligned properly on my 2008 Tiburon after the linkage gave out but I gave up for the time being and did a little more searing for videos and this was exactly what I was looking for took me less then 5 min to get it done after seeing this 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I had the same situation. The other videos made it look so simple that I thought I’d be done pretty quickly. Hours latter I gave up trying to get the wipers in the right position. Then I saw your video. Super helpful! Needless to say the problem is fixed now. Thanks a ton!

had this issue 2 years ago. Wasn't even looking for this video when it came up. Thank you so much! I've been dealing with wipers that stop 1/4 way up the windshield!

Mate…… I am just as thankful as everyone else is in the previous 50 comments made throughout the years. I just wish I had found your video before trying to re-install. After putting a new motor on (BA Falcon) and reconditioning and reinstalling my seized linkage (which took hours) I thought I was done, until I turned wiper’s on.😳🤯 I had no patience left and had to walk away from it.🙄🤔 I watched this video the next day, Wehla, done in 15 mins.🙇🏽‍♂️🙏🏻🙇🏽‍♂️

This vid really helped me line up the linkage with my new motor. I’d neglected to mark the original locations and was flummoxed. Now everything works!

Changed the wiper motor on my Mustang and the linkage was eating me up. After several hours of total frustration I finally took the time to look this problem up on youtube. This is the first video I came across and I can't lie, it took me all of 3 minutes to adjust the linkage. I wish I would have looked this up first as it would have saved me a lot of madness. Thank you so much for taking the time to post this informative video. Wishing you the Best !!!!!!

Thank you for this the bolt fell off that held my motor and linkage together got that replaced but couldn't figure out why my windshield wipers were kept trying to go down farther from the home position. Not sure why other videos skip this part with the timing spent hours trying to figure it out.

@dcwithw Жыл бұрын

Hey Chris, not sure i understand fully, but i think i have same problem as you did, just bought a new linkage for my old punto, and the wipers keep going further down than supposed to. I’ve tried realigning the arms, but then they are just too high. Did the tecnique in this video fix your problem with wipers going further down, than supposed to? Thanks in advance :)

@@POOHPOOHSMOM18 The linkage had nothing to do with the problem - this video helps if the linkage itself needs to be adjusted. For me, it was only about getting the arms to align properly on my windshield. I talked to a Fiat-specialist, and apparently if you buy brand new pair of wiper-arms, they dont have the teeth for alignment on them, from factory. The arms are made of aluminum, and the teeth on the linkage are made of steel, thus allowing the linkage-teeth to carve new teeth on the wiper-arms. I used fine sandpaper to smooth out the old teeth on the arms, and then mounted them onto the new linkage, and that fixed the issue :) hope this helps :D

Just a note for anyone who has a Chevy Captiva. The alignment is the opposite of what this car is. But thank you very much for the video it did help me out a lot

@gbpackers41730 2 жыл бұрын

Your video was indeed very helpful because I just installed a new windshield wiper motor on my 09 Ford Crown Vic and when I started up the wiper blades it positioned the blades upward as its home position which clearly was not the right position but I but after seeing your video I figured out how to set it correctly. I didn't know what I was doing wrong or how to fix it, great video thanks.

Is there a way to increase the range of the wipers? My home position is good, but the finish position (i e. other end of the range of motion) is way short of getting to the driver side edge of the windshield. It's a design flaw of my model of car.

Hi will this work on every car as my Australian GM Holden commodore wipers on intermittent stop in upright position? In speeds 1 and 2 they stop anywhere on the windscreen? So I have to time it when driving??? Very annoying. Wipers turn continuously when on and click when turning off just in all different positions? Any reply appreciated. I have googled! Asked auto parts stores, auto electrician said: probably the timer which is internal in the motor? If they were somehow re arranged? Then it would be perfect. Any reply appreciated. Cheers from Australia 🙂
