Do the wipers on your Honda or Acura come up and hit the A pillar during operation? Are they loose and just don’t clear the windshield like they should? If so, this video will show you how to solve that problem.
It’s actually an easy repair that doesn’t cost that much.

Glad your back making vids again man! Going strong! You and SMA are my fave channels!
Will the rods work with a right hand drive set up?
Eric, you are the best for the car repair. because you really explain the procedures and tips well. Thank you very much.
hey Eric, is it normal for some water to leak onto the top of the struts and sit there from the cowl?
1992 prelude with H23A1 engine. Idle surge… I’ve checked all vacuum lines replaced PCV valve and grommet, replaced idle air control valve and tightened fast idle thermo-wax valve. Also I’ve bled the cooling system and replaced intake gaskets. Idle still surges. What else could it possibly be?
Funny how the honda has a conainted unit for the wipers like that. On my nissan it's a more usual system with the motor bolted to the fire wall and the linkage bolted below the windscreen. I'm currently waiting for a new spindle as the plastic housing the spindle has worn away from use over the years. I should ask my dealer if he can get the part new but I think it'll be expensive. I found a Nissan oem retailer online selling them for £40 each. I've bought lesser used units for £15 a pair.
Thanks Eric
Really needed this. Thank you sir!!!
Driver's side is clocked too low. 😛
Eric – have you broken any of those GP Duo sockets yet?
Eric, A very good instructional video. It is clear and concise with sharp video shots. Yes, I would have wiped the balls too but I can see how this could be forgotten when producing a video.
Great information thanks Eric
I hate it how some wiper blades scrape the paint off of the wiper arms. Why design them like that?
Wipertastic, nice one ETCG
Have a similar issue with my 98 CG5 Accord, but it is not easy to buy cheap new parts in Australia, decided to fix the nylon joint with four cable ties and it works.
Hi Eric I've noticed just looking online and I get asked about engine building regards to race engineering. One thing I have clicked with is no expxins the vapor barrier issues when people machine cylinder heads and the theory behind it as well. I call it the washing machine effect maybe it's something U can explain to people that guys like us understand it's regards to the buttfly effect.
just really annoys me that you cant just replace the bushings.. i mean i'm gonna try.. i've heard some can be made to fit. never have to fix something like this on my Toyotas
Hey Eric I have a question I have a 2001 Ford Focus SE front wheel drive dual overhead cam, my driver side rotor is loosed after taking off the wheel but the passenger side when I take the wheel off the rotor is fairly tight why is my driver side rotor so loose
No excessive play on the wipers of my '95 Accord but I had the paint issue. a little bit of black paint et off we go ! thanks for the video Eric, very usefull as always
Classic ericthecarguy and a day in the life are the best hands down.
Junk plastic import crap. Trouble is all cars are crap like this now.
