I just replaced the windshield wipers for my car (full blade assembly, not just blades) and have just had my first need to use them. The passenger side wiper barely contacts the windshield and the driver‘s side is not much better. Long story short, the wipers don‘t contact the windshield near hard enough, when at all. How do I correct this without having to pay out the wazoo? Off hand I don‘t remember the brand, but I believe they were Bosch and I believe the problem not to be in the wiper blade and assembly replacements but that the problem was likely present before I got the car. How does one fix this problem?For what it‘s worth, these are on a 1984 Camaro Sport Coupe
Remove the blade assembly and place the arm back in position. It should touch the windshield and have a good tension toward the glass. If not, grip the lower part of the arm firmly in one hand and bend the upper half toward the windshield about 1/2. Do another 1/2 if the first bend does not work. The most likely reason is someone vandalizing the wipers when the dealer had it. Also check if the mount end of the arm is twisted out of position. Use a pliers to correct.
It's usually not the motor but the relay. That's located there where the fuses are, under the hood. The next thing after that would be your multi-switch that you use to turn the wipers on with, it may have gone bad, but I always go for the relay first, as that's the weakest link.
