Double Wiper Arm Adjustment
Many larger vehicles
have double wiper arms such as RV’s, School Buses and Transit
vehicles. There is a
patented adjustment for side to side movement of the wiper blade due
to wiper deflection and heat from "super heated windshield", ice or simply upon
wiper activation of which
most people are unaware.
This constant
movement causes loosening of the attachment hole from metal fatigue
and stress.
The proper torque adjustment if needed must be decided after
placement of the Wiper Buddy®

When the blade rests in an even
parallel position to the windshield, this assures the blade will be in
a balanced position and that the adjustment has been made
properly. Further
adjustment is not necessary.
When adjustments
have been accomplished, you benefit from the patented design that
Wiper Buddy®
offers.
In the event of excessive wear, a small amount of silicone may be applied at the
pivot to prevent the ounce or two of tipping of the wiper blade to keep it from
touching the windshield or cover if necessary.
