Wiper arm position question...it's driving me crazy!
Wiper arm position question...it's driving me crazy!
Hello everyone,
I have an annoying question with the operation of my windshield wipers on the crossfire. The wiper blades themselves due a great job. The problem seems to occur in the overlap pattern of the wipers. The right passenger side wiper does not go far enough onto the drivers side, so it creates a little water puddle that does not get removed by the left driver side wiper. This little puddle of water at the top intersection of the wiper blade pattern then runs down the windshield causing you to wipe the windows again...and continues until the puddle is no longer there. It is very annoying. If its a light rain...I just push the wipe button once to do a single wipe...but I have to keep doing this frequently until the drip is done.
Does anyone else have this same problem...and if so...is there an alignment or adjustment that can be done to resolve this problem?
It looks like its just designed that way...but any inputs or recommendations would be appreciated.
Does this bother anyone else? Is this caused because the wipers are to different sizes?
So...who's got the fix?
Thanks.

It's the way the windshield wipers work by design.
If you want to eliminate most of this... apply Rain-X or something similar. This will allow the water to be cleared more easily. Make sure you apply it to the wiper blades too as it will keep the squeaking down and keep the blades from drying out.
Cheers!

Measure the arm and arc pattern and you will see there is no way around it.

That's "2" Wish this was different vs "5,872" I love this car.
I guess I can live with that!
