Wiper blade flipping all about.....

[supermottl]

Hey. Prolly something simple here: :
When I turn on my wipers, the blade rotates around all wacky ways from the arm. Like, the blade does not stay parallel with the arm, and then they just don't wipe, and it looks frappin retarded and I can't see so good...
Do I just need new blades or the whole assy?
Thanks

You're going to have to take the arm off to figure it out.

You can get the whole arm from several of the parts houses. not very expensive as I recall. It is worth it if you live in a climate where rain happens. With the new arms, you get new springs, which hold the arm to the window. The PO had purchased springs from Ace hardware, which made the arms wave around in the air :, oem works much better.

good luck,

If you are gonna buy a new arm you might as well do the cherokee wiper conversion. It will clear the windshield much better and it won't be that much more expensive. Here is the link

Ditto, mine are MUCH better than the stock arms.

Thanks, ya'all.
Looks like I'll go ahead and check out the Cherokee conversion. my piece isn't original anymore, so what the heck. better stuff always works for me
