Windshield wiper reset?

[Asstastic]

With all this snow I was too lazy to clear all the build up on my hood/windshield. I finally removed all the chunks of ice but now my wipers don’t lower to the correct position when turned off. Is there a simple way to reset them so they lower to the correct spot?

Did you try and operate the wipers with a bunch of snow and ice on them? If so there’s a good chance you may have damaged or partially stripped the tapered stud for the wiper arms causing them to move.

There is no type of reset for the wiper module that I’m aware of.

Yup i definitely ran them with a bunch snow on the hood so they wouldn’t go all the way down. Sounds like a trip to the dealer, lesson learned.

The wiper arms are kind of a pain in the rear to get off the posts. Takes a mini-bearing puller.

Some people have had luck with vise grips and a hammer somehow - I tried that and nearly broke my windsheld so I went and spent $15 on a puller.

I ended up buying a puller also. But not all will fit..
