My driver side windshield wiper keeps hitting my driver side window when using, I saw a part of the wiper fly off my window and then a few days later when using them it keeps going past the main wind shield and hitting my drivers side window. Do you think by putting on new wipers this will resolve the issue or do I have to take it to a shop?

Hi there,

You can re position the wiper arm, but that may make it strike the bonnet instead, what is normally the problem is one or more of the wiper regulator bushes are worn, and this allows the wiper arc to increase, causing the arm to strike off the screen. You should get your mechanic to inspect and repaired as needed.
