my GF’s windshield whippers(sp.) are vertical when they are not being used. They still work but when she drives they stick up. I don’t know how common this is but, i would like to know if anyone knows how to fix it?:shrug: …she has a ford mercury sable, if that helps. Thanx!

I see GM’s with this problem a lot. I always wondered why. It’s always the same year GM’s too.

By sticking up do you mean:

A. Resting in a postion normally used for wiping  
B. Not auto-retacting below the hood  
C. Staying in postion where it was when turned off
