Had the same problem with mine. Adjusted according to this paper found on the Wilcox website: http://willcoxcorvette.com/repairand...elp.php?hID=98

It took some time because if your off, the wipers will hit each other. Fine tuning using the method discussed by Alan71 above.

Looks like the adjustment NUTS are not shown in the picture. The outer end of the rod is to the right and the adjustment is in the center.

Hi Roger,
Nuts haven't been hanging since my 'commando' days back in the late sixties, early seventies. Thanks for asking though!

Alan
