How to Replace a Windshield Wiper Adapter
If your windshield wipers are leaving streaks on your windshield or not making good contact with the glass, it might be time to replace the windshield wiper adapter. The adapter connects the arm of the wiper blade to the wiper motor. Over time, this connection can become loose or corroded, causing poor performance from your wipers. Luckily, replacing a windshield wiper adapter is a quick and easy repair that you can do at home in just a few minutes.
Here's what you'll need to replace a windshield wiper adapter:
- New adapters (one for each side)
- Screwdriver
- Wrench (optional)
- Rag
- Soap and water (optional)
First, take a look at your old adapters and note how they are attached to the arms of your wipers. In most cases, there will be either one or two screws holding each adapter in place. Unscrew these screws and remove the old adapters from the arms. If your vehicle has rivets instead of screws holding on the adapters, use a drill or power screwdriver to remove them. Once the old adapters are off, clean up any rust or debris from where they were attached using a wire brush, sandpaper, or other abrasive tool. This will help ensure that your new adapters make good contact and stay put. If desired, you can also wash down this area with soap and water before attaching the new adapters. Now it's time to install your new adapters. Put them in place and use either screws or rivets (depending on what was used originally) to secure them firmly in place. Make sure that they are tight so that they don't come loose over time. That's it! You've now successfully replaced your windshield wiper adapters!
