After putting my early dash back together,the wipers are landing on the drivers side of the windshield. Is a wire crossed or somehow the switch is in wrong? TIA

I did mine a number of years ago. I think I found a link on Dennis Deed's Yahoo Group board that referenced yet another board/site.
Just looked to see if I kept notes/emails about it, but can't find anything. I'm thinking it was fairly 'simple'; park the wipers as normal, disconnect the motor cable. Loosen the drive arm on the motor and rotate it 180 degrees. (I think you have to pull the assembly to do this, which also means pulling the gas tank...). When reinstalling the wiper arms, they go the passenger side. Leave them loose 'just in case' and try the wipers. They should sweep normally, but then park on the passenger side. The wiper arms are bent, so they don't lay nicely along the base of the windshield; I never bothered trying to find another set or re-bend mine. |
