94 Windshield Wipers ?
I just upgraded my windshield wiper arms and blades to the 96 type. Now, the passenger side arm is hitting the hood when it goes to home position
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any and all help,
Chris

makes me think you need to raise the hood stops a touch.

I just upgraded my "89" with the "96" arms and blades and the passenger side just barely clears the underside of the hood.

Bogus,
Thanks for the response.
Looks like I'll need to go up a 1/2" or so?

that much? damn... that's a lot.
I did the conversion and had zero clearance problems... I would love to see pics... if you can.

In 95 the changes were made so the wipers wouldn't chatter across the windshield...not sure what exactly they did to them tho jsut changed the pitch or something I guess.
