How to fab a mono wiper?

[Dave]

which linkage did you disconnect...the linkage AT the motor (the single 10mm) or the actual linkage arm that conects to the driver side?

I loosened #8 on the diagram Rocla hotlinked. AT the motor.

if you do it right you won't break things..i was just drunk.

i did it in about 4, including destroying my heater fan that I had to go back and redo....your point?

That is my point, i'm in no hurry to deal with breaking shit.

Worked for me. I disconnected it and then moved the arms to the proper down position and then set it.

Indeed. My car came to me with the park wrong and the wiper stopped in the up position.

Took maybe 10 minutes to fix it. You dont need to remove the linkage. Disconnect the linkage where it connects to the motor. Move arms to where you want them parked. Connect linkage.

Bam.

Done.

that shouldn't work? by my tests the park is set by the three holes at the end, on the passenger side. The linkage sets the park, not the motor.

I'm confused...i haven't modded the linkage that needs used for the full sweep, i realized how much of a PITA it would be after bending my wiper arm and just parked it ricer style and sweep from there.

I need to get around to it soon.

Therein lies the ricer mod.

dave, you are hte bomb ass lawyer

I didn't mean the wiper arm, i ment the linkage arm.

huh? it would go too far at that point? woudln't it hit the fuckin hood?

change the park.

Even with a slightly bent arm (uh, the stock one) a full sweep linkage will still sweep the driver side.

I have to have it vertical until i get around to modding the arm or it won't sweep my side.

Therein lies the ricer mod.
