Default Wipers

Hi All,

Hopefully there is a simple answer to this question...

My 99 F150 wiper arms are way out of alignment. The driver side is up on the windshield about 4 inches and my passenger side is down the same amount.

How can I get them aligned?

Thanks

You may want to put a little loctite on the post. These trucks are famous for stripping those grooves. **** poor design.

I've fixed a few with this problem. The cause is not freeing up the wipers when they're frozen to the windshield and just turning them on.

All I had to do was loosen the bolts and they moved. There weren't any groves like I thought there would be. Now that they are "even" they don't go all the way up the glass. The drivers side maxes out at 75 degrees. Maybe I don't have the right motors in there. I got the truck used so it's a possibility.

Is there a stop adjustment on the motors?
