Wiper Arm Tip Pressure Check: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove the wiper blade from the arm. Refer to WIPER ARM BLADE REPLACEMENT .
- Attach a scale to the wiper arm tip and measure the force required to lift the wiper arm perpendicular to the windshield to the normal working height of the wiper arm (the height with the blade attached).
The force required should be between 8.3-10.1 newtons (30-36 ounces).
- Replace the wiper arm if tip pressure is not within specifications. Refer to WIPER ARM REPLACEMENT .
