Thanks again Chris for keeping me off track!😊 It's not like the old days when you had vacuum wipers when you pressed the gas pedal to the floor the wipers would just stop in the middle of the windshield.

  • I wish I would have found this video sooner! It would have helped me tremendously when I upgraded my old stock wiper motor brakes system for the Brembo kit. Bleeding them was a bit tricky without help from a well trained friend. Be sure to top off your windshield wiper brake system reservoir while you are in there. I almost forgot. The reservoir in most vehicles is either next to or directly behind the blinker and flasher fluid reservoirs.

  • This is a great video by Chris. I'm a master technician of 25 years. I had a customer last week saying that their wipers were clapping the windshield when the wipers moves back into the resting position, even with new wipers. Come to find out that the wiper rotors were warped. I changed them and the wipers were back to normal. And I also replaced their blinker fluid with a new type of liquid with reflective particles to make their blinkers more bright. They were very satisfied.
