'77 model Wiper Adjustment
Good day forum junkies,
I've done a search and didn't come up with anything, so here I am looking for your wisdom.
I'm having issues adjusting my wiper blade travel.....both sides go too far and are hitting the A pillar trim on each cycle of the wipers. I've lubed everything and have made the adjustments to the limits trying to limit it's travel with no luck.
Before I bend the arms, is there an adjustment I'm missing?

The only real adjustment is on the linkage where it attaches to the wiper motor arm. I'm taking that you've moved both as far out as possible there. The other thing to look at is if a slightly shorter wiper blade might be available

Looks like I solved my own problem.....Although there is a keyway to clock the wiper arms, it seems you can adjust it by a spline or two. I was able to move the drivers wiper arm counterclockwise one spline, and now I have about 1 1/4" from the trim at full sweep, where it was touching prior to the adjustment.
Glad that BS is over with....now on to the next issue
