Thank you very much!!! That knocking grated my nerves something fierce. I had to lock the wiper in the outward position, away from the windshield, before the arm would come off. But, it was easy peasy. You ROCK!
Thank you so much!!! The idiots at the Ford Service center didn't bother to check their work on my 2022 F250 after replacing this arm. I did have some trouble getting it off, but flipped the wiper arm up and it was easy to pull it off and set it to where I wanted it at. Now it works like it should!
Just fixed mine after having the windshield replaced…the technician clearly didn’t test it before releasing the truck to me…thanks for this simple tutorial! 👍🏻
I don’t know what year they started making keyed motor slots. I have a 2016 and it sounds like I won’t have that issue. Just wanted to say thanks for the short and concise video. Right to the point and if it doesn’t completely solve someone’s issue, at least it sends them in the right direction. I wasn’t aware of this lever and I’m grateful you showed us that little part / trick. Went through the Carwash and the cleaning wheel pulled the wipers up.
I picked up a used 2021 F150 that knocked the A pillar. I swapped wiper arms passenger and driver and it fixed the issue. There’s a keyed piece that prevents simply moving one notch. Also if you flip the wiper arms out you don’t even need a tool to move the latch.
you need to switch the arms left and right.. they did a recall and the dealer put them on wrong side. there is a key piece in them that prevents them from stripping.
Thanks so much. My wiper is too low. I will go adjust it now. Well that didn't work. I have a 1998 and it has a nut. No problem taking the nut off, but I now need figure out how to pull the arm from the bolt.
I swapped my wiper arms driver and passenger and they aligned properly without removing that key. I got my truck used and I’m assuming it had a wiper recall and they put them on the wrong sides. My passenger side was also resting too low and the last inch of the wiper was getting up on the plastic cowl slightly.

Dealer wanted me to come back after motor replaced under recall. This saved me a trip and the time. Thanks!
I had this issue after a windshield/hood replacement after an accident. Hit the pillar. Thanks for the video
Ok but how did you actually turn the wheel that is on the truck with the key slot?

My 21 f150 is the same way with the notch. Cant adjust it. I switched the arms and it still hits the side. I gotta keep digging for a solution…
I ended up removing the little silver/medal tab in the wiper and was able to adjust the wiper arm lower.
The driver side has a slight hump in it. The passenger side does not.
@@benjaminkoch6778my 22 is doing the same thing, what metal piece are you talking about?
What year is your F150? Thanks for making the video.
Awesome! Thanks man!!

The one with the slight hump is the drivers side.
Dude thank you I thought it was just my truck … lol so annoying I would stick my finger out the window just to touch tips with the wiper 😅

Thank you
There's a line on the windshield where the blade should align to
Thanks for sharing!
But you had to removed the shaft key to do that. I assume the key prevents the tiny gears from eventualy stripping.

My 2021 is doing the same thing
You didn’t show how to adjust.
Literally nothing has worked
