Windshield Wiper Blades, Checking Park Position

Windshield Wiper Blades, Checking End Position

• Every second time it is switched off, the wiper motor runs to an over-stroke parked position, that ensures that the lip of the wiper blade is flipped to the other direction.

• For this to happen, the wiper motor runs downward to the end position and then back up again very slightly. This over-stroke parked position must not be used for aligning/checking the wiper crank.

• To check, use the parked position for which the wiper motor only travels to the end position without over-stroking. If necessary, operate the mist wipe function once more.

- Switch windshield wipers on and off and allow to run to end position.

- Turn off ignition.

- Check if the windshield wiper blade tips are positioned with the following distances to the plenum chamber cover at the bottom of the windshield:






• Dimension - a - = 0 to 10 mm

• Dimension - b - = 10 to 20 mm

- If necessary, adjust wiper arm:
