Wiper and Washer Adjustment
INSTALLATION
- 1Prior to wiper arm installation, turn on wiper switch to operate wiper motor and then turn it "OFF" (Auto Stop).
- 2Lift the blade up and then set it down onto glass surface to set the blade center to clearance "L1" & "L2" immediately before tightening nut.
- 3Eject washer fluid. Turn on wiper switch to operate wiper motor and then turn it "OFF".
- 4Ensure that wiper blades stop within clearance "L1" & "L2". Clearance "L1": 17.5 - 32.5 mm (0.689 - 1.280 in) Clearance "L2": 25 - 35 mm (0.98 - 1.38 in)
