Wiper washer tubes on my 71 missing. I need info or a pic on how they both mount. I think they would have to clip under or along side wiper due to the wiper door not crushing them. Maybe that's why they are gone. I thumbed through assembly manual and not helpful. Thanks.

Hi v,
Here're the original arms and tubes from my 71.
The wiper arms, blades, tubes and clips came to the line as an assembly and thus just the assembly is listed/shown. UPC1 asm., Sheet D6.
The Paragon Catalogue has a very good drawing showing the clips and their typical locations on the arms.

There are 4 different clips used, a total of 7 or 8 were typically used, here's a couple of them:

Hi Alan....so from your pics the L side tube nozzle mounts under the wiper and the R side tube nozzle mounts on top or the wiper? That's how the little brackets are on my wipers also.

Alan 71

Hi v,
Yes, that's right.
There's one soldered connection for each tube. The rest of the tube is held in place by the specific clips for that arm.
The clips are shaped for use in certain locations along the arm.

Will basic electrical solder work?

Alan 71

Hi v,
Yes, it will.
Prepare the surface of the tube and the small bracket well.

Alan

Here's a tube I re-soldered for someone.
