Wiper Arm: Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Pickup and 2004 Dodge Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The right and left wiper arms are not interchangeable. The right wiper arm is slightly longer than the left. Be certain that each wiper arm is installed on the proper wiper pivot.
- Place the wiper arm hinge in its over-center position prior to attempting installation.
- The wiper arms are indexed to the wiper pivot shafts with integral keys in the wiper arm pivot ends and keyways in the wiper pivot shafts. Align the key of the wiper arm to the keyway on the wiper pivot shaft.
- Once the wiper blade is aligned, push the pivot of the wiper arm down firmly and evenly over the wiper pivot shaft until it is fully engaged. When the wiper arm is fully engaged on the wiper pivot, the spring-loaded latch (Figure ) will snap back into place against the wiper arm pivot end.
- Gently lower the wiper arm until the wiper blade is in position on the windshield glass.
