Hello all
I have a 1998 Legacy Outback with 186k on it.
I'm having trouble with the wiper blade travel
Some times they work fine and other times they will slam into the left windshield post and also seem to slam into the bottom position on the same cycle
I waited until they seemed to be sweeping correctly and then tightened the nut on the left wiper about a quarter of a turn until it was tight. The nut on the right wiper seemed to be tight already.
This didn't help and they still seem to be over traveling on both the top and the bottom of the stroke, but still only about half of the time they are on.
Last winter they froze in place during a long trip during an ice storm (at the bottom position). I don't know if this caused the problem or not.
Any help or advice that you anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. I'm not a mechanic.
Thank you very much.
Dave
