INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- Inspect the wiper pattern. The wiper arm should be 35-114 mm (1.375-4.5 in) from the top of the driver's blade to the edge of the molding in the outwipe position.
- Inspect the park position. Both the wiper arms must be against the park ramps.
- The correct park position and outwipe dimensions are determined with the wipers operating at low speed on wet glass.
