Left window wiper + a pillar = blind spot Not sure if anyone else noticed the large area of untouched window by the driver-side(left) window wiper, but i certainly did. Just picked up the 2008 rogue with 23,000 miles and immediately noticed it with the recent rains. if it snows, i wont be able to see a large portion of my view.
plus trying to get the new style of wiper (bracket-less) you certainly cant fit the smallest size which is a 16 i believe with the appropriate left side wiper.
so to circumvent this you have to get 1 size smaller in the left side to be able to fit the smallest size for the right(which happens to be 1 size larger than the oem size)
so i have found a small solution for this:
take a look at the left(driver side) window wiper
look at the point there it connects to the bottom
all the way at the end, is a cap that cover the 12mm bolt.
pop that cap off, loosen the bolt half way and jiggle the wiper
till it spins freely. adjust it about an inch from its previous position and retighten bolt. check the wiper action on full speed making sure at least enough gap is between its highest resting point and the window/a-pillar. DONE! |
