Default Windshield Wiper Question (yet another)

This one should be easy - 1971 - Which wiper sweeps first drivers or passengers? I've had it apart so long I can't remember and I just got my windshield installed today do I'm in the process of finishing up.
Thanks
John

John,
The passenger's side wiper is on top of the driver's side. So it goes up first.
Regards,
Alan

PS: How'd the glass installation go?

Once again Alan - Thanks
Glass is in and went really smooth. I'll post some pictures in another thread.

Jeff, I have the AIM so I will use it to adjust them.

Thanks- I'll use it as it's got to be better then the adjusment in the AIM. Do you carry the right wiper blades for wiper door cars? I had them working good last night but after I put the wiper door back on it was hitting the passenger blade after they parked and the door closed. I know they are aftermarket ones and think they are too tall. They worked OK before I started working on the windshield. The windshield is at the same height as before. Also what is the best way to take the slack out of the wiper linkage. The piviot point linkage is riveted together and has some play. I could drill out the rivets and bold it back together but is there some sort of shimms I could install?
