How to change a headlight/ windshield wiper switch assembly?
Depending on your model of car, you may need to remove the steering wheel to change it. Others are easier where you only need to remove the plastic collar around the steering column.

How often do I need to change my windshield wipers?
My windshield wipers have started to work less and less. It%26#039;s only now bothering, but I%26#039;d like to improve their function. Should I clean them or should I replace them (they are 2 and a half years old).
Thank you!|||Standard estimate with %26quot;normal%26quot; usage is that you should change them every six months. At 2 1/2 years, I would say it%26#039;s time to change them. Make sure you consult your owner%26#039;s manual or go to an auto parts store and ask to make sure you get the correct size for both wipers.|||If you go to a place like AutoZone, they will sell you the correct wipers and help you learn to put them on.|||Replace them. Don%26#039;t be that cheap. They don%26#039;t cost a fortune. Instead of saving a few bucks, spend them so you can be safer.|||Replace them before they damage your windshield, windshield wipers should be replaced as needed.|||The time to replace them is when they leave a streak. The rubber has become unpliable and they do not make a good contact with the glass.
If it is slow, the reason is something else. Replacing them with a new one does not make them run faster.
The reason for low speed - it is of wrong size for your car. Wrong size (usually large size) puts additional load on the wiper motor and you could burn the motor to replace them sooner than needed.|||replace them. I would say once a year.
if you are concious of the cost you can buy a roll of just the blade rubber and fit it in the wiper yourself.|||replace every 3-6 mos. or use rain-x once a month.|||wow 2 and 1/2 years old. You got about 2 years more out of them than you should have. If you want your blades to work the best you should change them every 6 months. I do it at Daylight savings spring and fall. The only blade I have found that will last an entire year is teh Bosch Icon. It is a brackless blade that forms the window they are pretty expensive but are worth the money to me. They are about $25 a piece. So thats $50 for a set. Probaby more than you would ever think about spending on wiper blades but try them once and you will see why they are so expensive.

Windshield Wiper Blades Stopped Working - 1999 Honda Civic Hatchback?
The windshield wipers on my 1999 civic stopped working out of the blue. I tried changing the fuse and still nothing. I%26#039;m not sure if it%26#039;s the wiper motor either because when I turn my wipers on I hear the motor going - but my blades stay still. Any ideas ??|||It is possible that they need to be tightened down. There is a bolt where the wiper arm meets the motor. Take it off and look inside and make sure that the groves did not get stripped. If they are you may need a new wiper arm.
A bottle of Windshield Wiper Fluid was left in my car's back seat and burst from the heat. How do I clean it u
I bought a bottle of windshield wiper fluid when I got my car to get the battery changed. However, I was stupid enough to forget about the fluid in my back seat and the whole bottle burst the next day because the car was out in the sun the entire day. all the fluid got on my floor mats and the rug on the back seat. Everything dried and the entire car smells like alcohol every time I get in. Also, the back rug/mat turned blue. I%26#039;m wondering if anyone knows how to get the blue off from the mat and the floor? This is very embarrassing and I feel very stupid for forgetting the bottle in the back seat.
Thanks!|||I have heard that the Bissell Little Green Clean Machine is a wonder-worker for cars. I don%26#039;t own one, but a couple of my friends absolutely love it.
It will re-wet the washer fluid and suck it right out.|||if you are mechanically inclined you can try to remove the back seat and soak it with the hose, This will not damage the upholstery, but it will get rid of that horrid smell. The mat you could do the same with. It may have been permanently turned blue though.
Hope it helps|||Well I have not much information to go on so I will just assume that your seats are either leather or vinyl, those you can just wash off with plain old warm water and a soft cloth, the mats however must be scrubbed with either dishwashing liquid and about half cup of White Vinegar then scrub with a brush if these mats have carpeting on them then it should be with a stiff brush but don%26#039;t brush too hard you will tear up the pile just a gentle scrubbing action will do then rinse with hot water and allow to dry away from sunlight or heat these mats must be hung to dry Good Luck !|||use detergent or soapy water to wash the floor mats and rug maybe will help get the smell out but the rug and floor mats probably are permanently blue you should change floor mats and rug
tips:
next time you go out bring a little notebook and record what you brought that day make sure to look at the list that you brought everything out of the car (and put a star next to things that cannot be forgotten like the Windshield Wiper Fluid)

Why do my windshield wipers on my car always make noise?
It seems every time I put on my wipers, they make noise. Even after changing the wiper blades. Is it what I am using to clean my windshield?
When it rains real hard or consistantly I dont get the noise, just when it is drizzling or when I get road wash from other cars, little bits of rain or water.
I%26#039;ve noticed with new cars they never make noise, even when the windshield is completely dry. How do I get that?|||The noise is caused by the friction of the rubber against the glass, therefore when there is more water for lubrication, there is less friction and therefore less noise.
On the issue of newer cars not making the noise even with little or no water, that has to do with the fact that their windshield glass is new and smooth. With the smooth glass, the small amount of water is spread evenly across the glass, providing even lubrication. With an older windshield, there are scratches and knicks in the glass, giving the water a place to go and therefore not providing as much lubrication. When there is enough water (heavy rain, etc), the lubrication is there, and the noise stops.
The best chance of stopping this is to get a new windshield. However, as that is likely not a viable option, you can try the same method that one would use to remove scratches and smooth out their paint job...polish and wax.
Also, check to make sure that the arms that move your wipers aren%26#039;t bent in any way, causing them to be misaligned. Good luck.|||try using your washer, make sure it has water in it :)|||cause your are using your wipers too much. if its just drizzling then you dont need to turn them on full speed. try rain-x !! best stuff. as long as the car is moving the rain just beads off the windshield.|||ive have this problem with my bronco, but since i live in the desert it only rains alittle so it always happens, i found out the the springs holding it down are too tight or something and pushing to hard against windsheild, i dont know how to adjust them but when it does rain really hard it dont make the noise before of all the water.|||Try using some rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab and cleaning the wipers with that.|||Try triple edge wipers. They%26#039;ve never made noise for me or any car I%26#039;ve installed them on. They%26#039;re a little More expensive than say An-co wipers but they have a lifetime warranty with them as well. They are silicone impregnated and that makes the water run off the windshield like rain X And helps keep them from chattering|||I agree with Sarah

How often should i change my windshield wipers?|||i normally buy them whenever i hear the streaky noise or when there are smudges after i use them|||When they get streaky you can try and use isopropyl alcohol and clean the silicates and dirt off them, that helps sometimes. If they still streak, replace them..... The Michelin blades are awesome for longevity and price vs performance. You can get them at W-mart.|||I usually change them once a year right before winter. Just because cold weather destroys wipers that have become dry and brittle over the summer. I buy the cheepies though.|||I usually change my windshield wipers every year just as winter starts because the long hot summer days are hard on them.|||Whenever they start to streak.

Is it difficult to change windshield wipers on a 99 Buick?
Some autoparts stores offer replacement as a free service if you buy the new blades there. And even if it%26#039;s not official, some staff will just do it for you anyway.|||no, not really. its probably the same as my 88olds. all i do is pull up on a little prong and the wiper comes off. unless your talking about replacing the refills, then just push the 2 little clips togeather and pull the refill out.|||yup my 01 is same so its easy|||Not At All...!!
How do I change j hook type car windshield wiper blades?
Please be specific. I%26#039;m stupid with this kind of stuff.|||I%26#039;m going to call it a U for explanation sake. Just inside the open end of the U should be a small tab attached to the wiper. bend it away from the rubber part of the wiper and slide it out of the U or J at the same time. the new onee shold just click into place. You can look at the new one to see if you see the tab. also there should be directions with the new one.|||Lift the wiper arm off windshield. Turn blade on arm so it forms a %26quot;T%26quot; then pull down on blade. To install just reverse.|||if ur as bad as u say id go to any shop 4 about 5 bucks let them do it|||Just go to the parts store. Buy the blades, all of them will install them for free on your car.|||There should be a tab you have to depress. Turn the wiper like they said to form a T and slid it off the stud the J hook clips onto.
The new ones should just click on. Or take it to the autoparts store you purcheced them from and they%26#039;ll put them on and even show you what they had to do to install or remove them so you%26#039;ll know in the future.

Do I need to buy the most expensive windshield wiper blades or can I get away with the cheapest?
I live in Las Vegas. It rarely rains, but when it does it pours. I have lived in Las Vegas for 5 years and have never had to add windshield wiper fluid, when I get an oil change they top it off. The rubber part came off of the passenger side last month. I haven%26#039;t had to use my windshield wipers since then. |||I would get medium priced ones as the sun and heat there will dry them out in 6 months.|||in your case, you can probably get away with the cheap ones.
but with a cheap price comes a cheap construction. find yourself wiper blades that are not the most expensive but not the cheapest. |||make sure they are the right size and that you wipe the new wiper blade with an alcohol pad before putting them on your car. this will help keep them from rotting. the blades i buy are like 6 bucks each and theyre just as good as the 35 dollar ones!|||As long as you get the right measurement for your car, it doesn%26#039;t matter if you spent $5.00 or $20.00.

How do I adjust windshield wiper timing?
I drive a Honda Civic and my windshield wipers do not return to the park position when turned off. Also, one of the wiper speeds (very slow or intermittent wipe) does not work. Does the wiper motor need to be changed or is there any way to adjust the timing?|||If your car is like other cars, the stub shaft where the wiper arm is attached has lots of small splines. Remove the arm and reposition it where it needs to be. Sometimes the arms get moved (at the expense of the splines) when someone turns the wipers on the they%26#039;re frozen down.|||The wiper mechanism itself appears to be working fine.
There is a module that controls the wipers and where they land. If this goes bad, then what you are describing is common.
I don%26#039;t know what year Civic you drive, but for a 98 Civic 2dr Ex, you can find the module here:
Under the passanger side wheel well. Open up the black part of the fender, peel it back, and the module is plugged into the fluid bottle.
Also, check out this website for Honda owners. It%26#039;s a good place to ask questions and get ideas on other fixes for all Honda issues.

How do I change my 89 Ford f150 Windshield wiper motor?
My husband seems to think that you have to mess with the dash but i wouldnt figure you would have to. But can some one please at least send me to a sight with an answer? Its a 2 plug motor.|||No....you open the hood, and take off the front upper grill located directly in front of the hood. There is a series of 6-8 bolts/screws there. Once removed, you will have access to the motor, and its just take it off, and put it on. Dont try and do this with the upper grill on.....I did, and bent the panel and chipped the paint.

Should I change the entire windshield wiper blades or just the refills?
I am a very DIY sort of guy, and I am very cheap, too. I like the idea of keeping my windshield wiper blades and just changing the rubber refill. However, I can never find them in stores, and I don%26#039;t know anyone who has ever done this.
Are there any strong reasons against changing the refills?
Most things I have read say that changing the refills is a pain. Why is this? I dont mind taking an extra 10 minutes to save $10.
where can I buy the refills?
I am not particularly worried about my wipers leaving perfectly clear glass behind. I just need to change my current wipers, which hardly do anything.|||if the refill falls out like they sometimes do you can damage or scratch the windshield
avearge replacement of a wisdshield 250
is it worth it
refills also only last 1 year or less so next year you replace them again and spent more
being cheap is not always saving you money
like another answer said wal-mart. tou might spend a couple more bucks but they will last 2-3 times longer
also, picture if you will
you put on the refills and your in the rain and one slips out of the holder or falls out and you end up in an accident, and total your car? is that 10 dollars gonna come and save you? buy you a new car?pay for the insurance hikes?
when it comes to safety on a car, is it worth the 10 bucks?|||blades are better than refills and its not an extra ten minutes/P I A|||go to walmart and buy the ANCO brand, they are cheap and easy to change. you will prob spend 10 bucks for the 2 of them and 8 bucks for the refills.|||My usual practice is to buy the refills once, then buy new blades the next time, and then the cycle repeats.

How do you change the windshield wipers in a 1985 Lincoln Town Car?
I have a 1985 Lincoln Town Car and I can%26#039;t figure out how to change the windshield wipers. I tried opening the hood and changing them that way but that didn%26#039;t work. They don%26#039;t pull straight up and turning them on then off when they are up doesn%26#039;t work either. They just go back down. Can someone help me?|||dr layne is right. Turn off the key, when wipers are midway up the windshield, so you can pull the arm straight out away from the windsheild, grab the wiper and flip it over. This will allow you to remove the entire head, not the arm. Then follow the directions that came with the new wipers. I would suggest replace the entire wiper head, not just the rubber piece and get an expensive set of wipers ($10.00), not the cheapest ($3.00). |||You should do what I do, pull up in front of Pepboys, or AutoZone, and ask a silly question to make them think you%26#039;re clueless i.e. %26quot;Can you show me where the tools are to install windshield wipers%26quot; or %26quot;Can you show me where these go on my car?%26quot; . They%26#039;ll come out to show you, and usually end up doing it for you. |||Turn the wipers on, while they are in mid wipe, turn off the key, not the switch.

What type of windshield wiper blades does a 2005 Chevy Cobalt use and where can I buy them?
I bought a 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt in that year, and I have not changed the wiper blades since. The blades seem to be wearing out (i.e. - They frequently fail to get about 15% of the water off of the areas they traverse), and I want to replace them. I don%26#039;t know anything about windshield wiper blades. First of all, what type of blade does my car use? What is its designation? Secondly, from which stores can I cheaply buy decent brand replacements? Thanks.|||The factory uses a special type of wiper blade on the cobalt cars.You do not need to replace the wiper blade unless its bent.You should stop by your local chevy dealers service dept.They can replace the wiper insert (rubber part) of the wiper blade and it will work like new again.This will also cost less than replaceing the wiper blade with a aftermarket blade that will not work as well or clean as well.Best of luck.|||You should be able to purchase wiper blades for just about anywhere. Walmart, KMart, Zellers, Canadian Tire(if you are in Canada), etc. The main concern you need to know is what lenght (inches) each blade is. Also most department stores have a reference book to check the blade lenght. Depending on how much you are willing to pay, the range is vast. I purchase the $5/blade cheepy ones and replace yearly. Some can cost much more and may need to be changed just as frequent. Your choice.|||You will probably have to buy two sizes of refill blades for that cobalt.
The blades are two different sizes, unfortunately, available at autozone.

Need some help changing my windshield wipers?
i got a 2006 nissan maxiam a few months back and the guy i bought it from lost the owners manual so i don%26#039;t know how to change the windshield wipers. i%26#039;ve looked online for info and they say pull the release tab, but when i push the tab, i can%26#039;t get the blade out
thanks for you time|||Depends on whether you are trying to replace the entire wiper assembly or just the rubber blade itself.
Many wiper arms have a hook at the end and you push the wiper toward the base of the wiper arm instead of pulling away from it.
To get just the rubber blade out I normally use pliers to bend one of the metal tabs on either side of the blade, at the end of the blade closest to the base of the arm, and slide the support band out. The blade will almost fall out without either one of the support bands. Then you slide the replacement back in.
The easiest was is to go to Autozone, Advance Auto, etc and they%26#039;ll change them for you for free.|||make it easy on yourself, get a tin snips or a wire cutters and cut off the old ones (do not cut the pole it sits on)
The wipers pull straight off of the post (that is 90 degrees from the wiper arm)
I once bent the arm trying to remove the wiper... look at the new wiper and see the center hole... that is the separation point.
cut it off and save yourself time
the new one snaps right back on that pole (it is about an inch or so long)

How do you change the windshield wiper blade on my 2007 vw jetta?
I brought it to walmart to get the blade change because it seems that they ripped,the man told me that it has a weird lock on there that only the dealership can change. has anyone ever done it b4 cause i don%26#039;t feel like paying 3times the price at the dealership.|||To start off, don%26#039;t buy wiper at Walmart for your VW! You actually can%26#039;t anyway, because Vw blades are especially designed to fit the wiper arm. I just got some for my 2007 Jetta also. They cost 20 each, which is the price of a good wiper anyway.
As far as changing them, its really not that hard at all. The only thing that might give you trouble is actually raising them off the windshield, since they hide under the hood.
Here is what you do: put you key in the ignition, and turn it to the mode right before the car starts, then take the key out, and press down on the windshield wiper lever. This should cause the the pause half way through wiping. (instructions all found in manual. Could be under %26quot;service mode%26quot; or something like that.)
Then, life the wiper of the windshield, and push in the tiny little square on the tip of the wiper arm. After that, you can just slide the wiper blade out.
I am sure your local VW dealer will help for no charge, or you can just look in the manual
Good luck!|||I just encountered this same issue with my 2007 VW Jetta.

My step-dad just changed mine and I%26#039;m amazed at how much nicer they are. Just curious how often you%26#039;re really supposed to change them.|||Dear Wipers-
Just change them annually. I normally do it at the first of September in my area, that is about when out rain season starts.
If you are living in a place like the PNW, (Pacific North West), Portland, Oregon or Seattle, Washington; I would say change those wiper blades out as soon as they start streaking the window.
As for the person who told you to use Rain-X, I agree with her. That is an excellent product. I have been using it for years. I have yet to find a better product of its type. With new wiper blades and the Rain-X, you will be good to go!|||yes they work much better huh lol...my dad always told me to change them at the start of every school year...so that they are a fresh pair for the winter...also have you heard of (Rain X ) you wipe it on then wait a few min. then wipe it off it helps repel the water...good luck...|||you should every 3 months.|||When they aren%26#039;t cleaning your windshield, make noice when they move. or are falling off.|||when you wash your windshield and it doesn%26#039;t clean the surface that when you change it and it also depend on how many time you wash your windshield using your wiper blades. so if you don%26#039;t use it often i will say may be every 1 year.|||every six months. Normally fall and spring.

How do you change the windshield wiper motor on a 2000 chevy venture?
We know everything else there is to a car bu how to change the windshield wiper motor on this 2000 chevy venture van. Can anyone help us? Pictures or descriptions can help in any way. We need to find out about the linkage assembly, not the installation of the actual windshield wiper.|||Lift the plastic cover off thats on the left. You will now see the wiper motor. All you need is ratchet set and a one of those star bits (forgot size). It should come right out.
Just install the new one, test and go.
Make sure NO ONE turns the car on while working. Otherwise, disconnect the battery before you begin. Safety First.

Do I need to change the entire windshield wiper or just get refills?
I haven%26#039;t changed the windshield wipers for 3 years and they are leaving lots of streaks. However when I go to Autozone and Target, they only sell the whole windshield wiper. Should I be changing both wipers since it%26#039;s been so long a time, or should I keep looking for the refills?|||Just do the refills.|||refills should be all u need!|||I would just get both windshield wipers.|||replace the complete wiper refills r a thing of the past they dont last as long so there fadeing them out|||The refills are just not any fun to change and a lot of people can%26#039;t do it. Plus why would you care if you can get the whole wiper for like $4 a pop? Just change the whole thing, it till take you less time and be totally worth it. Get the good ones and depending on weather you should change them once a year.|||Most wiper arms will let you change just the blade its self.But since you haven%26#039;t changed them in so long it%26#039;s a good idea if you change the whole thing.The springs and pins become weak and stiff and won%26#039;t do a good job of cleaning the windshield once ther so old.|||get the windsheild wipers changed..|||If you can find a place that just sells the blade refills you can do that but it is true that most places only sell the whole replacement assembly. Best bet would be to call your local auto dealer (ford if you have ford, toyota if you have toyota, ect)|||RainX wipers are the best. If you see some ice in your area of AZ from time to time, change the arm, too.
The windshield will stay much cleaner with new blades. I always buy the arm with blade, ($15 vs. $5) but you can get refills, also.|||ditch the refill idea and buy some rain-x blades. Refills are a pain in the butt with all the different sizes and styles. You should be changing your blades every 6 months any way.|||I%26#039;d change the Whole blade. It%26#039;s easier and the old blade Assembly may not be letting the blade lay on your window flush from one end all the way to the other.
I personally suggest Triple edge wipers. They%26#039;ve never failed me and are guaranteed for the moment you put them on your car for life.They are a little more expensive but I thing they are worth it. Make sure you get the right sizes.The driver and passenger sides don%26#039;t usually take the same size
