Hi guys,
I'm worried about something - wonder if you could advise:
Today, exiting the cars wash, I accidentally activated my front wipers
while two guys were busy drying the windshield.
They moved their hands away, but I think there was some contact (one
guy was actually leaning on the w/s at the time).
So now I'm wondering: is there any chance that I might have damaged
(bent) the wiper arms?
If yes, how could I check for this? I'm probably worrying over
nothing, but I'd rather know.
Thanks. |

If the arms park in the right place, you are finished checking.
The arms are pretty strong, so if you get a full sweep and they park in the
right place, they are fine. I doubt you hurt them.

I'm pretty sure damage to them would have made itself evident.

Thanks - I followed your suggestion and checked if the arms park in
the same exact place as before.
They seem to, so I guess no harm done. >> Stay informed about: Possible damage to wiper arms? |
