I am so grateful that I watched this video. Thank you. I thought I was going to be in hurt from the dealership but it turned out to be the loose bolt. Thank you so much!! All fixed.
Thank you, very helpful!! I was able to fix my wiper in about 5 minutes… probably saved me a few hundred dollars by not having to take it into the shop! 🙌🏻
In my wipers the splines have cylindrical shape. So i am thinking to add between wiper hole and splines to add a tiny piece of soldering lead. And of course a little bit of loctite. That's why for few days now from drivers side wiper doesn't clean the water well! Really nice repair!
Thank you Jim, that was a great video for me today. Bought a corvette from up north and was a little stumped for a quick fix. Same problem, wouldn’t think the loc-tite would be strong enough. Thank you again!!
Good repair good video but it pains me to watch wipers on a dry windshield because all that will do is scratch. It should’ve put spray water on before running the wiper.
I just picked up a driver's side arm for a 2016 escape. The motor's splines are OK, but the arm's splines are a wreck. The new arm has no matching splines inside of the hole. It's smooth! Is that right?
You don't want it permanent. If you ever need a windshield, those arms have to be removed out of the way. Then you'll have bigger problems when they literally have to be broken off.

Thank you so much for the upload had the same problem with my car, fixed it in a couple of minutes with your insight..
May God richly bless you
Nothing more permanent than a temporary fix.
Is there a war going on outside your garage door 🤣

Really nice repair!
Dude. Ya need a sound filter! Thanks for the info
thanks a lot, i just fixed my whiper today, sir. I saved at list 30-40 Euros plus the time.
Nice Jim! More common than one would think. Loc-tite is a great product!
Timing is everything isn't it. That's a good repair Jim. I have four bottles of that stuff just so I never run out. Happy Thanksgiving.

Glad it helped
at least it saved it for a bit longer! a good temp fix.
Thank you! This saved me a trip to the mechanic!
Good job Jim, it sounds like your shop is right next to the freeway.
What happens if you just changed the wiper transmission and this happens?
No parts required my kind of repair Jim 😊👍👍👍👍
Nice fix Jim!
Awesome great video thanks for sharing. I truly wish a Safe & Blessed Thanksgiving for you and your family.
Well ill be damned. Thanks a lot! Thats exactly what happened to mine and i didnt have to tear apart the wiper transmission/ motor
How much does this fix cost on average?
hard to beleive as worn as those splines are it will hold.always like your videos, thanx.
Thanks for the tip
Any time
Great video, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Very well explained
8:57, she's hurting for money because she's been buying what is pictured on her floor mats. Was there an odd smell in the car Jim? Great job.
Its tinkerbell on her mats lol. Wings not leaves
Thank you
Good video Jim

I have 3 2 rotate 1 doesn't so will i have to replace whole unit?
I take it you can’t just replace that post coming out of the wiper assembly?
You'd have to get the whole linkage assembly

No. The arm and motor must have good splines to mesh together to grip like on gear wheels. If it's smooth, it's going to slip and not move.
I am going to try J B Weld on my wiper , just seems more permanent than loc tite
Hey bro how did that work? The JB weld?
You don't want it permanent. If you ever need a windshield, those arms have to be removed out of the way. Then you'll have bigger problems when they literally have to be broken off.
She might be tight with the funds but she has money for the "Weed" floor mats.
It was tinkerbell lol
My car buick lucerne 2009 wiper motor noisy ?!!!
I can't get my whiper off
What kind of car? Can you send me a picture of the blade?
Loc tite is a bacon saver.
I hate that these things are held together by those fragile splines. Seems like there could be a much better way
SHOUT TO THIS VIDEO JUST SAVED ME SOME MONEY 🙏🏽🫵🏽
Thanks 👍👍
