- First of all I beleive that I am assuming correctly that the winshield is
- clean. The problem is either a design problem(very unlikely) or the wipers are
- incorrectly aligned(highly likely). Let me try to assume the that the wipers
- only skip going in one direction, correct go on, incorrect hit n. If the wipers
- are canted like this "/" they will skip going to the left. If the wipers are
- canted like this "\" they will skip to the right. Carefully bend the arm with
- pliers wrapped in a rag(as not to damage the finish) to make the wipers
- perpendicular to the glass surface like this "|".
- I just love fixing problems that I cannot see or hear! We need multi-
- media for rec.autos.tech.
