How to Adjust the Wiper Stroke Size?

[DelZoey]

Lift the wiper blade along the angle of the windshield for a certain distance, then lift the wiper arm outward. To avoid damage during the repair process, place a towel on the wiper arm to prevent scratching the car paint during adjustment. Use one wrench to secure the elbow, and another wrench to slowly twist in the opposite direction to make the adjustment.

Having driven for over a decade, adjusting wiper stroke is like a small trick for me. There's usually a fixing screw on the wiper arm - loosen it and you can manually move the linkage to change the swing range. Last time it rained, I noticed the wipers weren't reaching the corners, so increasing the stroke slightly solved it. Always turn off the wiper switch and cut power before operation to avoid hand injuries. Check if wiper blades are worn or dirty, as this affects performance. DIY saves repair costs, but be careful with excessive force that may damage components. Recommend testing after adjustment by simulating rainy conditions to verify adequate coverage.
