How To: Single windshield wiper


Thanks to Allan (Lil Viper) for these instructions (and picture!)

1. Turn your ignition to on, the position just before you start your Sol

2.
Hit the "mist" on your wipers to start them moving

3.
As soon as they hit the top, where they're all the way up, turn the ignition off

4.
Open the hood to access the wiper bolts

5.
You'll need a 15mm socket (I think) to loosen the nuts on the wiper bolts

6.
Remove the driver's side wiper- to do this take the nut off and lift the wiper up, (you may need to close the hood to do this) and remove it.

7.
Remove the nut on the passenger side wiper

8.
Close the hood and lift the passenger wiper up, but don't remove it windshield moulding.

9.
Open the hood and reinstall the passenger side wiper nut- MAKE SURE you tighten it down all the way! If it's not tight the wiper will just sit there and only the bolt will turn, stripping out the bolt and making it useless!

10.
Close the hood. The wiper should be sitting STILL on the driver's side.

11.
Get back in the car and turn the ignition back to on. The wiper should go back over to the passenger side

12.
As an extra precaution against stripping out the bolt, tighten down the nut again once you're done.
