Thanks for this, ordered a small puller from Amazon today
That's my memory of that style wiper, too. I remember fighting with the wipers on my Chrysler Cordoba many times when that area would get filled with hardened snow.
My wipers go down under the hood. A lot of people complain because they can't lift them up to change them. You should of had the dealer fix them.
Do not like that wipers do not go down all the way beneath the hood (will fix another day by taking off and moving down one spline).
21" blade on passenger. Side was hitting windshield gasket flipping it around, 20" blade has fixed that for now.
When I move blades down a spline may need to change to 19" blade, not sure yet.
If your wipers go under the hood, they're not aligned as Ford intended. There are bulls-eye marks on the windshield where the wipers are supposed to be aligned at rest, and they're not under the hood. The marks are round and at both ends of each wiper, four in total.
You're welcome Glen. Ford has been doing the alignment marks for years, and this is the first Ford I've seen with the bulls-eye marks. I have seen others that have "I-beam" looking marks, like the cross-section of an I-beam.
It appears to me that any shortening of the passenger wiper will lower the wiped area of the upper right of a tall driver. I am 6'1" and if I sit straight up my head will touch head liner and I would like drivers side 1/2"-3/4" higher now. I have adapted my driving position.
Yes, that is definitely a consideration for taller drivers. Shortening the passenger wiper 1" will reduce the height of it's wiped area by 1/2". I'm not that tall, and I use a fairly low seating postion.
say what now?
My seat adjust up and down . 2023xl
Yes I have a sunroof!say what now?
do you have a sunroof and your seat as high as it can go? or perhaps a 30" inseam and very long torso?
because I am 6'0" with a 32" inseam and I don't have a sunroof, and I can sit in my Maverick with a helmet on and it isn't that close to touching the headliner.
