wiper tubes install.
My 69 windshield/headlamp washer system is now working...YEAH! But I cannot figure these darn brass wiper tubes out, it looks terrible. I bought the clips from paragon but I cannot find anything anywhere about how they go on. Does anyone have advice or pictures. Thanks

Many of the arms are missing the metal cover over the spring on the bottom side. Without the cover the clips will not hold. One arm has a triangle clip on the tube in the middle and two on the cover. The other has two rectangle clips on the tube and two on the cover.

Their are slots in the metal spring covers, if you have them the bottom two clips have something for the clips to hold to as the clips are on the sides. If you have no covers the clips have no way to hold and it just slips on and can slip off if the wipers are used. Not a problem for most of us who avoid rain if we can.
