82 Vette -Windshield Wiper Adjustment?
Hi,
82 Vette-Both wipers stutter through the whole range of motion. Already changed wiper motor, blades and cleaned the glass. Someone mentioned that the blade pressure on the window is too much. So how do you make any adjustments? Thanks

Same problem. No one answered how to adjust pressure other than bend the arm. No likey that.

The wiper transmission parts are rarely the problem with arms hitting. Key factors are the length of the wiper are blade and the adjustment of the arms. If you follow the instructions below and have the correct length blades then you should be able to achieve proper adjustment. If all things are in order and checking out OK and you still can't get the arms adjusted then you have a bent transmission arm.

I found pulling the pivot points apart and greasing everything helped me. Now I use a needle grease gun tip too get in there from time to time
