Hey guys, My wipers are acting funny.. and I dont recall if this has been happening forever and I never noticed it, or it just started.. What do you think?
see how they go, then come down, and then jump back up about 1/2" its kinda annoying, and they dont stay down all the way sucks too.. is this normal?

FWIW, my 5.5 gen does that, too. If I just barely bump the stalk in the manual operation direction, they'll jump up about half an inch, and won't return back to resting until I bump it again and make them complete one whole wipe.

Do they move back down from that spot they jump back up to when you turn them off?

I'd assume the wiper motors from 5th to 6th gen aren't too different. That's something I don't think Nissan would spend thousands of dollars on re-designing...

 

My 04 doesn't do that

 

my 5.5 gen does not do it but my dads caravan does, and sometimes wipers dot stop going because it jumps up enough to trigger another cycle. i think this happens after you overpower them with like lots of snow.

 

i have an 04 and mine never did that..... not to thread jack, but i just bought some new wipers for my 04, and i easily got the passengers side blade off ( took like three seconds) it was just a regular clip push one, but my drivers side one will not come off! i must have spent 30 mins in total trying to get the freaking thing off! its driving me nuts. can anybody help?

 

My Olds did something like that if I recall, but my 07 Max has never done that...
