    Hey guys,
    Just installed new electric wipers on my truck cause all it dose is rain here. :confused: So they work great and I can adjust them on the wiper motor but one arm is always about 1 inch higher then the other. need to know if I can raise the drives side or lower the pass side wiper any. Thanks for the help guys. O ya Its on a 59 chevy Apache 31. Got the wipers kit from classic parts.

    wiperarm adjustment

    You can adjust them on the towers were the wipers are attached on,on the outside
    Be carefull pulling them off
    there stuck in place most of the time, and are held by a small piece/clip underneath the wiper/tower connection(under the tower)
    It's like a spring
    You have to push it aside with a little screwdriver and then wiggle a litle with some pulling
    sometimes it comes off with a beng
    So be allert not to hit the paint or (worse) the windshield

    I think your old wipermotor was a little woredown
    That's why the previous owner must have misalingned them

    Best is to lower the one that is to high in parked position
    Caution: it's old
