Windsheld removel how to take mouldings of to change the windshield

Do you have heat ? Water leaks or engine coolant?

If all above ok

you have dirt on the water channel of sunroof if got one.

OR

clean dirt under the windsheld wipers there is a rubber hose that drives water from the windshield bottom to the engine.



Open hood and look back to the wall you ll see a black rubber pipe its not circular its like a V

You have to remove the rubber moulding that holds it in place. I would highly suggest a windshield/glass shop for this repair so no moulding/paint damage occurs

use some moulding adhesive

This is sometimes caused by moulding lifting around the windshield and on the panel housing the wiper arms. Sometimes the moulding is affected by temperature. The best thing to do is trial and error taping of a small section of the moulding or the panel covering the wiper arms. What is happening is an edge is poking up and catching the wind. By taping a small section, you are smoothing out the edge that is making noise. Once found, just try removing the tape and then use a clear silicon to fill in the edge gap.
You would be getting water in the vehicle if the wind was coming through the front bottom gasket of the windshield

Worn & or loose linkage

Take a needle and insert it into the windshield washer nozzle, and adjust to the correct position.

u need to adjust the wiper arm position on its drive shaft spline so when it swings it doesnt hit the shield mouldings...

there is a windsheld washer pump in the system
which can be changed out without removing the wiper motor

it;s under the cowl vent panel.

most of these windshield wiper motors are located right below the windsheld and above hood. you probably have to undo the louvers where the windshield wiper arms are located and it sits in front of the driver side not too bad to swap yourself part itself is about $60 w/old motor turned in
