Adjusting the windshield wipers
How do you adjust the wiper? After istalling it back from taking the engine out, the driver side wiper went over the windshield :confused: . I tried to adjusted it but don't see how. If I swing the motor arm 180 degree, would the wiper fit?

Remove the brush guards over the linkage; the wipers adjust with 10mm nuts on a little cover over the wiper pivot ball joint.
The trick mod is to install '95 wiper arms & blades; look in the Tech Tips section for an article with part numbers (so you can order them all from 18carfan!).
I've always wondered if the "Park" position of the blades is supposed to actually lift them off the glass...Anyone know?
