Default wiper question

My wipers are hitting together on the down stroke. One hitting the center of the other.
They did it so much the other day that it knocked one of the blades off the arm. The wiper blade size is correct.
Is there any adjustment on the arm itself? I did use the override system to put the blade back on.
Thanks for any help.

I believe there is a way to adjust them listed in the shop manual. If I remember corectlly its at the plates that join the two wipers at the motor. If You don't have the manual PM. Me and I will dig it up for You.

also may need to pull the wiper arm off the shaft and rotate it one notch up on the spline shaft.

Thanks!!

I do have a manual. I will rotate the arm and see if that is the problem.

I don't think you can rotate the arms.

Willcox Corvette has a nice pdf on how to adjust wiper arms.
