Wiper hitting A pillar.

[bigwyo]

The driver side wiper blade is hitting the A pillar again. I took it in once and they fixed it. Then I took it in for the wiper motor recall and it was fine. Now it's hitting the pillar again. On the return it comes close to hitting the cowling. I don't see that there's any room to adjust it.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Sorry! I just ran across the post from last month!
I guess I'll take it back to the dealership!

Typically, wiper arms are either bolted to the mechanism that moves it or clipped- the shaft it mounts on is splined.

Remove wiper arm and clock it a couple of splines.

I have adjusted wipers for years and these don't have room for adjustment with hitting the cowling.
Thanks for the reply though!

On my '21, i noticed the splines on the wiper arm are shallow and soft and the arm would skip position. I made a key to keep the shaft and arm in alignment. After the recall, I had to readjust both arms since passenger side was set too low and driver was too close to the pillar. There is retaining clip under the wiper arm to remove the arm, then reposition and remount. Hope this helps.

My 21 PB had the same problem after getting the recall done. I just remove it and rotated a little to correct the travel range so it doesn't hit my A pillar. Just make sure you seat it all the way back on the shaft. Make sure it clips back on. There is a YT video on this.

Good afternoon. Would you please send over a private message with your VIN and dealer info so I can look into this wiper concern on my end?
