Wiper Blade park location.

[JesseJames38]

Hello again.

 

I have been looking for information for the past month unable to find what i am looking for. I am hoping that the people on this forum may have the answer or a idea what to look or search for.

 

About a month and a half ago i bought a new to me 2013 Subaru 2.5 limited legacy. From looking up the Vin number for the recalls there where two listed being complete. One for the airbag and one for the wiper motor cover. Currently i am looking for information on where the wiper blades are suppose to sit in the parked position for the heated windshield. I know that the driver wiper blade is located in the wrong position as every time i use the wipers the blade hits the "A" pillar on the drivers side. And currently there has not been any heavy frost on the windshield for me to locate where the heated portion of the windshield is to relocate the blades.

 

I have found on the windshield two orange dots which points me to having a heated windshield. I do not know if these two orange dots are indicators where the center of the wiper blade is suppose to be. Or if the blade should be located above or below this dots. Or if these dots are just to inform that the windshield is heated but has no relation where where the park location of the blades go.

 

Any information would be helpful.

Thanks

Jesse.

if you run the rear defogger for a few minutes (it should stay on for 15 minutes) with some water lightly misted on the bottom of the windshield, it should show where they are located.

 

The dots are there for alignment of the wiper blades, not to indicate heated or not - so use those and you should be good (on my car, I think the left one is at the end of the left wiper and the right one is a little shy of the middle of the right one)
