Replacing a wiper gasket
A windshield wiper gasket seals the area where the wiper arm and washer components pass through the cowl, keeping water out of the vehicle. When the rubber hardens or cracks, rain and debris can work their way in. Inspect the gasket around its full edge, not only the visible section, before deciding it needs replacing.
Removing the old gasket usually means lifting the wiper arm and cleaning the seat underneath. Clear away old adhesive or debris so the new piece sits flat. Take the old gasket with you when comparing sizes, since small differences in curve or length can affect the seal.
- Inspect the full length for cracks
- Clean the seat before fitting the new piece
- Compare shape and length with the old gasket
