i recently installed new wipers. i think the brand was reflex or something. being a noob, i couldnt get the passenger side on and ended up yanking for a good 15min before i gave up and got my friend to do it. after the installation, i noticed that the wiper was angled up a little in the off position. i can now see the tip of the blade sticking above the black part of the windshield on the bottom which usually hides the wiper from view. does anyone know how i can adjust it so it sits where it should?

hope i didnt confuse anyone because i almost lost myself.

-loosen the nut that holds the wiper arm on
-pull the wiper arm back (or off of the window)
-gently wiggle the wiper arm until it loosens
-drop the arm down a bit to realign it
-retighten the nut
-lay the wiper down and check for proper alignment

where's that nut hiding?

Under the round plastic cap.

so i removed the cap and nut and wiggled the wiper arm. i wiggled and wiggled and basically wiggling the whole wiper assembly as i can see the other wiper arm nudging up and down. still, the wiper arm was tight as hell on the screw. anything else i'm missing?

You are an idiot my friend.

1 Remove plastic cap
2 Loosen nut
3 You will have to lift a little bit to pull the wiper off of the spline that is is on.
4 Adjust the angle of the blade.
5 Push the blade back on to the spline
6 Replace the nut and Plastic Cap.
7 Go in the house
8 Place Cranial area in the Latrine
9 Flush said Latrine
10 let your friends point and laugh at you.

I was like you before, I too couldnt take the wiper arm off, but just get a screw driver wrap the head of it and pry it up. That should work.
