Need a Spot
Ok this is a strange one.. Since I bought this truck. 91 Montero. The wipers stop facing up. instead of down on the sill like they should. anyone else ever run into this problem.. or have any ideas to fix it..? I was thinking about pulling the Motor off the shaft and lowering them down. But that won't work due to the moter starting off in the wrong direction.. Whacha got?


91 Montero 4x4. 3.0 Auto. 160,000 miles.

Similar things have happened on mine. It was due to the wiper arm coming loose from the wiper motor spindle.

Check if your wiper arm is tightly attached to the wiper motor spindle by trying to move it with the wipers off.

If it does move then open the cover to the bolt holding the wiper arm on the wiper motor spindle and tighten that bolt. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Body Damage is Cool
my old dodge colt had this problem....except it wasn't the spline for the arm. something screwed up in the track system and they both moved on there own...they weren't in unison with eachother and they always got tangled up with each other. it was a real pain in the ass when driving in a hard rain and my wipers start having fights with eachother.
