Wiper System And Washer System: Adjustments

Check wiper arm tip pressure (force needed to lift wiper arm perpendicular to windshield) at tip of arm with wipers at mid-wipe position and wiper blade assemblies removed. Force needed to lift wiper arms should be 30-36 oz. (8.3-10.1 N). If force required to lift wiper arm is not as specified, replace wiper arm. See WIPER ARMS  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
