Hyundai Elantra While not much larger than the accent, the Elantra offers similar room, but a sportier look and feel, as well as more power.

Default Lazy wiper arm

(also posted in General Tech area)

My Driver side wiper moves slowly, incompletely. I believe the motor is fine, or it wouldn't move at all. Passenger side wiper moves fine, except when it collides with the lazy driver side one.

Is tightening the linkage from the arm to the motor a possibility? It it easy to do?

try removing the 14mm nut on the arm and inspect the groove inside the armto see if it's worn.

You were exactly right, down to the wrench size. Thanks!!
