My windshield wipers have recently begun to "slam" into the bottom portion of the windshield. They tend to do this when I drive at higher speeds and when I turn them to faster speeds. Does anyone know the cause of this? I read in some earlier posts something maybe of a "scissor assembly", but there was no elaboration on the point. If anyone has any advice, please reply. Thanks.

 

started happening to me in the same conditions, so ur not alone but i cant help, i also need help

 

all you have to do is readjust them. where they mount there is a bolt. take the bolt off and pull the arm off and readjust them up a little higher so they dont go down as far.

 

ahh actually mine did actually break they were hitting at the top and the bottom so it was more than a matter of readjusting (this was on my 99 tl). This is how i fixed them:

Ok you will need a connecting rod unit and the honda part number is "76540-S0k-A01"

once you get this part you will need to take off the plastic trim imediatly below your windshield then turn on your windshield wipers and it will be obvious which part is broken simply pop of the old on and pop on the new one (you may need a rubber mallet to get the new one on)


The problem is its a mettal ring on the road that wheres out making a loose connection therefore causing the winshield wiper to slip

 

thanx

 

Thanks for the help esp. with the exact p/n. I did try to readjust them as someone suggested; however, I did not find that this solved the problem.

 

Sweet! I have this exact problem. You da man

 

Just wanted to say thanks for the info

 

SOCCERBENK is correct its the plastic caps on the connecting arm it must be replaced then adjust the wiper arms

 

Had to replace my connecting "scissor" arms as well about a couple years ago due to the same issue.
