Chevrolet Repair: Wiper arm, s10 blazer, screw driver

Question
QUESTION: I have a 2005 Chev S10 Blazer. The driver's side wiper arm will not go all the way down when it is turned off. If I push it down it pops back up, about half way through it's sweep. The driver's side wiper is working properly.
Can you tell me what this problem is and how I can fix it? Is it the wiper motor?

Thanks,
Steve

ANSWER: HI STEVE, THIS IS A SIMPLE FIX, REMOVE THE PLASTIC COVER ON THE WIPER ARM PIVOT. THIS IS AT THE BASE OF THE WIPER ARM..ONCE YOU REMOVE THE COVER YOU WILL SEE A NUT ,REMOVE THE NUT AND PUT A VOICE GRIP ON THE ARM PIVOT AND ROCK AND PULL IT UP AT THE SAME TIME TO REMOVE THE ARM OFF THE WIPER LINKAGE. ONCE REMOVED PUT THE ARM BACK ON IN A LOWER POSTION [WHERE YOU THINK IT SHOULD BE].PUT THE NUT ON,, NOT REAL TIGHT BUT SNUG IT. TURN THE WIPERS ON AND SEE IF YOU LIKE THIS POSITION..IF NOT, RE DO IT AGAIN...LET ME KNOW ,,TOM

QUESTION: How do I remove the plastic cover on the wiper arm pivot? I don't want to ruin it trying to get it off.

Thanks,

Answer
HAPPY NEW YEARS STEVE, THE PLASTIC COVER WILL JUST POP OFF. USE A SCREW DRIVER TO TWIST UNDER THE COVER AND YOU WILL SEE IT WILL START TO LIFT UP AND AWAY..ONCE OFF JUST FOLLOW THE ABOVE DETAILS AND WHEN YOU HAVE IT IN THE CORRECT SPOT AFTER TURNING THE WIPERS ON TO SEE, MAKE SURE YOU TIGHTEN THIS NUT, TIGHT TIGHT.DONT BREAK IT OFF BUT MORE THEN SNUG..[[[ONCE YOU ARE SURE IT IS IN THE CORRECT LOCATION]]]
