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

Most 914's I've seen don't have the arms installed correctly. If installed correctly, they are hard to see, even from the Drivers position. The attached picture is sort of hard to see: The pass-side arm should have the bend and be parked almost touching the window trim. The drivers-side arm should be straight and parked having the low end of the wiper blade almost touching the window trim.

Most arms I've seen either have two pass-side arms or arms reversed etc. You can easily park factory arms in the factory position and pretty much out of sight when not in use.
