DYI, sorry about the picture quality. BTW, if you do this, it is at your own risk.you accept full responsabilty for your actions
:tools, hammer, drill, drill bit that fits a small machine screw, regular screw driver, metric sockets and a hack saw or grinder.
1.take off wipers.
2. open hood
3. take off wiper arms.
4. remove plastic trim with gasket and disconnect the washer nozzles
5. remove the three bolts holding the wiper assy down.
6. disconnect the wiper assy electrical connection.
7.remove assy.
8.using a screwdriver, pop off the linkage connecting the passenger side piviot point to linkage arm.
9.
drill a small whole to shorten the linkage pivot point.
10. trim the arm width enough so it doesn't hit the assy support bar, about 1/8 of a inch. and put a s bend on it as well, thats where the BFH comes in.
11.check for free movment, the small arm needs to move almost 180 degs with out hiting anything, the small arm movement is the same as the wiper blade, the more that moves, the more your wiper blade will.
12. insert 20 cent machine screw through the whole you drilled, and also install the 5 cent nut with a washer and some locktite.
13. reinstall assy.
14.reinstall everything else except the drivers side wiper arm.
15.trim the plastic peice to allow extended movement of the passenger side wiper arm.
16. make minor adjustments of the wiper arm placment on the windsheild. in the park position, it should rest where it did orgionally.
17. if all goes well, you should have the wiper arm slide accross the full windsheild.
oh, you need to go down 1 size wiper blade
