← Wiper Arm Detached in Rain – Visibility Protection and On‑Site Refit Guidance | MyMechanic Heavy rain with a detached wiper turns seconds into a hazard—pull over safely, protect visibility, and refit securely before continuing.
MyMechanic offers on‑site refit and roadside help for SG‑registered cars in Malaysia—fast visibility rescue without guesswork.
Why Wiper Arms Detach Unexpectedly Loose nuts or worn splines on the linkage hub. Age‑related wear of plastic pivots and joints. Incorrect fitting during a prior blade change. High‑load wiping in storm conditions stressing the arm. A subtle wobble or misalignment can become a full detachment at the worst moment—address early signs before storms.
Immediate Safety Steps in the Rain Slow down and pull over safely; prioritise restoring visibility. Avoid overworking the remaining wiper—it can also fail. Check the base mount; if the retaining nut is intact, a secure refit may be possible. Do not continue at highway speeds with impaired visibility. MyMechanic – On‑Site Wiper Refit and Support Refit the arm securely if the mount/spline is serviceable. Tighten or replace linkage components to restore basic function. Apply temporary water‑repellent treatment if a full repair needs a workshop. Assist at highways, stations, or mall car parks for safe onward travel. Wiper Arm Detached in Rain?
