How to Fix a Bent Wiper Arm
- 1). Locate the actual bend in the arm and gently pull the blade off of the windshield.
- 2). Visually compare the bent arm with the non-bent arm on the other side of your windshield. Wiper arms are made of relatively soft and malleable metal, so begin by attempting to slowly bend the arm back to the visual aspects of the non-bent arm.
- 3). Release the arm and allow the actual wiper blade to sit on the windshield. Look for any gaps between the rubber blade and the windshield glass. There won't be any with a properly bent wiper arm.
- 4). Remove any gaps between blade and glass by making tiny little pressure bends on the wiper arm. It does not have to be done to an exact science, it just needs to be close, since the arm is spring loaded and because the blade is rubber, it will naturally flex to the contour of the windshield.
