hey guys,

on a dc5 integra, im looking at adjusting the angle of the wipers as I want it to sit higher when not in use. There is a single 14/15mm bolt, i loosened that but didnt want to give it too much strength to mvoe it... Can this be done?

You'll have to undo the whole bolt, the wiper motor should have grooves in it. So what you do is take the wiper blade fully off and slot it in at the desired angle.

Also make sure the blades are up off the windscreen when you remove the arm. Makes it easier to get off, and less chance of breaking anything. And also remember that the higher or lower you more the wiper arm, the closer it will be to hitting the edge of the windscreen when theyre being used (if that makes sense).

Hey guys,

I just did it just then!

All I did was use a 14mm socket, take that nut off, and i just pushed the wiper up and retightened the bolt! now its aligned to my liking, as I have a sticker there and my amte bought me a pair of Spoon wipers that overhang and kinda covered the URL sticker. Now its all good!
