Wipers - Park Before Washer Spray Is Cleared
Bulletin 87-8-8Date Dec. '86
Ref. No. 87-020-8
SUBJECT: WIPERS PARK BEFORE WASHER SPRAY IS CLEARED FROM WINDSHIELD
MODELS AFFECTED: 1987 SKYLARK AND SOMERSET WITH STANDARD TWO-SPEED WINDSHIELD WIPER
Some early 1987 Buick Skylark and Somerset models with the standard wiper system, may exhibit subject condition when using the washer switch. Production correction occurred with VIN breakpoint of HM002650. Depending upon the moment at which the customer releases the washer button while operating the washer spray, there is a potential for the wiper arms to return to the park position before the windshield is entirely wiped clear.
If a customer comments on the above described condition, install the delay style wiper motor cover kit (CD4), part number 22048616. The wiper will still function like a standard two-speed system, but will time out after release of the washer button, to wipe the windshield wiper area clear.
