    The passenger side wiper on my 66 c10 sweeps too long. from the windshield molding all the way over past the curve on the outside of the windshield. The driver side sweeps perfect. Any way to adjust this? Thanks guys.

    It sounds like the passenger side is loose... ( ?) Have you checked to see if the wiper arm has a good grip on the post ?

    DV - the wiper was snug on the post-new arm with good clip- its the post itself that seems to be turning 180 degrees when the sweep should be about 45 degrees. can the wiper post be adjusted so it doesn't turn so much? driver side is fine. Thanks

    Give me a day to get back to you. I'll be near my service manuals tomorrow.

    Check the post it might be installed in the wrong position. Sounds like it is 90 degrees out of wack.
