850 Wipers

Post by Guest »

I have a 97 850 and my wipers seem to just flop around instead of having a tight swipe. I was wondering if anyone knew how to go about tighting them and how to access the bolts. Or just any general advice

Thanks in advance

The wiper arm an warp to where the wiper is not held to the glass. You can try to re-form to get better contact but this does not always work. A new wiper arm assy will fix it when the re-forming no longer works.
