My j-hook does not have a square hole at the end to click. How do I secure the wiper? I installed it but it comes out when it moves around.

You should be able to secure it using the suitable adaptor that comes in the wiper package. More detailed info here... http://www.rainx.com/installation-instructions/rain-x-latitude-wiper-blades/

Tried installing it on my 2010 Q5, but the top hooks seem to be resting on the spoiler (plastic) and not the steel trunk door. Not sure if this is correct - and I don't want to risk ripping off the spoiler. Were these installs done using the hooks or the hatch anchors?

The J-Hooks would be inserted and removed by turning the hook 90 degrees which then allows it to slide freely in and out of the holes. Once back inside the desired hole, you turn the hook back downward and it locks into place. Additional hooks are not a standard option, but they could most likely be purchased as an after-market service parts order from the manufacturer if needed.

The buld inserts and turns to lock it in. To remove you hold eack end and turn it 1/2 a turn and it should come out.

Just twist the circular part on the side and it'll eventually release. It should just slide right out.

I am having the same problem. I can't figure out how to open the plastic covers to shorten the knot. Anyone else out there know how??

It has been awhile, but if I remember right I went to ace hardware and got a longer screw that went through the square tube & into the other side of the handle by a 1/2". Then you put the handle on the square tube and drill through the tube and handle. Make sure you stop at 3/8 to 1/2" on the other side of handle. you just need enough for the screw to start. Also if you go bigger than the excisting hole the screw will strip. If you need something else you can email me at stollerfamily@netscape.com

Try going in the other way.....not sure which end you're referring to, but as I recall, I had to put it in backwards, then attached the sprayer......easy, but very directional, as I recall...hope this helps...

Basically, the wiper shaft has an outter threaded shaft that you insert thru a hole in whatever your mounting to. Then you thread the nut onto the outside of that and tighten it down to the surface, pulling the actual motor right. The motor housing has a couple of rubber bumpers on it to help keep it snug after the nut is tightened down.

I noticed the same thing on mine. It seems to snap into place on the upper half but hangs out about .25" at the bottom. The whole deck is easily removed though. Mine is installed in my 2002 VW Jetta GLS.

Mine just installed straight into the stock dash slot. It is To long for it so my dash is not installed all the way at the moment. May need something custom made (which I plan to do myself)

Hello Peter.Assuming the product you got is OK, then it fits very tightly to the dash board. There is a clips you need to open 1st, i assume you did that. 2nd apply some water on the sucking cup and clean the dashboard area. now close the clips. It should hold very tight. This product is excelent, and you should not have any problems with it.

In order to keep the hook from showing you need to position and attach the plate hanger lower on the plate. If you contact me directly I'll be glad to help. Thank you. eBarb--Barb Huhn

My husband had the same problem and he used plumbers tape around the insert to hold it in place until it catches ...hope it helps

I echo William's comments. I found I needed to add a few washers to raise the loops on the top side of the deck to bettet fit when the j-hooks where engaged. Pretty simple instal.

Jeremy you are right. It needs some way to lock it closed when wrestling it into and out of your car. Mine flops open and hangs up every time. I'm going to try a cinch strap and I'm sure I will find something at the auto parts store but the manufacturer definitely dropped the ball here. Wake up NOVA!

There are hook attachments that hold the cover down at the corners. I used these to attach each corner to the deck using a 2" or 3" screw and had no problem with wind. If you put each screw through a washer, the screw will not slip through the hole in the loop in the hook attachment.
