Re: Wiper Flys off Windshield

Think back and think if you ever had your windshield replaced. If the installer didn't tighten down the blades or position in right place, it will go off edge. you shouldn't be able to bend back. You must be moving the blades on the shaft where the nut is that tightens them down. Recommend you to turn wipers on and cycle, then turn off and power ignition off, then untighten nut and pry blades off to reposition. Check the shaft to see if there is any damage and also the blade arms too, to make sure they are not stripped. There are tabs that the blades rest when turned off in the plastic piece just below the windshield. Set the blades against the tabs. Once in right position, and push down on wiper arm by shaft area, put nut back on and tighten down.
