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/

Make sur you push it down. It should kind of click. Once in, it's pretty secure. If not, something might be off.

I initially had the same problem. There is a little screw/bold that rides in the open oval shape of the latch - in the picture I am looking at, it is white (the rest of the unit is black). If that bolt is not in that opening, the manual control from outside does not work. The problem is that you can't see it (I have a 2006), but if you take the actuator out, you can feel what I mean. Hope this helps.

It should just pull off from one of the corners. All of mine did, so I don't know. Maybe try dampening it?

Front side facing u, pull hook very hard for the first time, once open on rightside it should drop open. Hope this works for u. Let me know.

I had that problem at first, and then I realized that I had the orange connector piece in the wrong position. The larger hole slips over the end of the cross-bar, and the smaller portion fits into the upright posts. Hope this helps.

I have the same experience that you do. It is the tab on the side that keeps it locked in. My hood release is on the same side as the tab, so it makes it very difficult to remove. I have to wiggle a screwdriver in between to try to push the tab. Ugh...

those two hooks just hook to the inside of lip at the top of the body or " tub " I usualy hook mine in the back corners of the jeep, and let the straps attached to the soft top strattle the role bar on either side where they make that almost 90 degree turn downward toward the body. That way it pulls it tight in two directions. Its awesome after its installed. My wife loves it.

Make sure it is snapped in all the way as it is hard to push in. The end should go through the second slotted hole when fully inserted. If it is just loose you might try heating it and spreading the split end a bit so that it is tighter. The only other option I see is a strong waterproof glue of just sending it back.

Did anyone find a solution for this.. I purchased one for a 2007 Jeep and it won't fit. It keeps popping out of the socket.

The arrow indicates that is where top hat goes, the visible part. The hole part is crap, mine broke first use. I removed tiny set screw at bottom and took all out. loosen the thumb screw at the top of punch, move slide forward and check spring inside handle is attached. I still use mine, great for small grommet.

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!

You have to do 2 things to get this to work on a Yugo. 1. change the stop screw position from where it is to the opposite side. You'll need a drill and tap to do this. 2. Find an old style windshield wiper blade and take the metal stiffener out of one of the sides. Clip it to the length of the top rail and slide it in the gap between the rail and the mount. It should fill the gap perfectly. See my Youtube video on both these issues at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeK8-56c_8w.

I never take mine out--I have the mount up in headliner at the very top with strong Velcro.. Nobody can really see it- Hold the mount and push with your other thumb?? When you get it out put a tiny bit of Vaseline or anything around the house in that notch. If that doesn't help use a nail file to take down the notch till it easier???

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.

Hello. Try using either foil tape or, if you want to be able to take it down and reinstall on a regular basis, use wide rubberized clamps which seal the openings between the lint trap and duct. Try searching for FC4 mounting clamp for round 4" Duct (Pair). Good luck.

If I remember correctly, there are hooks / grooves that you have to line up along the sides before clicking the tab at the top. Take the door off and you should see the additional hook/groove/tabs that need to be lined up for the final click. Sorry, it has been a while but I do remember that issue. It was a very simple "ah ha" fix.
