I had a bad wiper blade on my passenger side. Bought a new one. The correct size. Now when I turn on my wipers they go oncefold back down almost all of the way and look like they are almost hitting eachother and then will not work. Any suggestions? Very confused woman!!!
It would help to know the exact year of this Buick Rendezvous, because the size you may have installed may be incorrect, as I recall their was a recall done for the Rendezvous where the wipers had an issue hitting each other at the bottom at the rest position here's what comes from GM (owner of buick company): Condition Some owners may comment that intermittently the tip of the passenger side windshield wiper blade contacts or touches the driver's wiper blade when they are near the base of the windshield after replacement. This condition may be most noticeable if there is an accumulation of snow built-up below the blades at the base of the windshield. Correction Replace the passenger side wiper blade with a new blade that is approximately 50 mm (2 in) shorter. This new blade has an overall length of approximately 22 in compared to the original blade which is approximately 24 in long on the passenger side. If that doesn't fix the issue its time to go to a mechanic who can adjust the motor mechanism in the wipers in order to allow them to lie flat at the correct time and position. Best of luck
