    windshield wiper coverage

    Anyone know if there is an adjustment that can be made to windshield wipers?
    Drivers side wiper does not go far enough over to the left (to pillar side) when sweeping.

    The only adjustment that I can think of would be to take the wiper arm off of the post and rotate it over a couple of notches. You'll see what I mean. The post and the wiper arm have little notches cut into them so that they lock together.

    MSHardeman's right! The round wiper motor post has the little grooves in it. Pull off your wiper arm and adjust back a groove or two. If that doesn't work, go another groove, etc. etc. Have the arms been replaced by someone before??? Maybe that's why they don't retreat all the way to the left like you say. Just wonderin' scott
