Car Forum / Volvo Cars / December 2005Headlight wiper now in "digitus impudicus" position
Driver side wiper arm frozen in the up position. How to unstick (not tried brute force yet and would rather not)? It is held on by an 8mm(?) nut under the lift-up-and-slide-off hinge flap. All the best, Peter. 700/900/90 Register Keeper, Volvo Owners Club (UK). > Driver side wiper arm frozen in the up position. > > How to unstick (not tried brute force yet and would rather not)? > Driver side wiper arm frozen in the up position. > > How to unstick (not tried brute force yet and would rather not)? You don't say what model/year, but on our '85 760 a couple years ago the splines stripped out (where Peter mentions). Replacement of the stripped parts was a hassle, so I cemented the pieces with blue Loctite and tapped the wiper on with a socket and a small hammer. So far, so good. Now I'm very careful to make sure the wipers aren't stuck down in the winter before using the wipers. Mike Yes, it's a 2002 S40. Wiper arm seems to shift around between trips but gentle pressure doesn't move it, so stripped splines doesn't appear to be the problem. |
