Happy new year to all, is there any way to index the wiper arms ? here's the problem, with the wiper motor "off" and the wiper blades in the park position, both blades nice and straight in the horizontal position, I then switch the motor on to either first or second position and all functions correctly. When I switch to third (fast) position it sweeps so fast that the driver arm/blade passes right over the driver side "A" pillar trim. I tried indexing the driver side arm a bit lower to where when in the park position it just touches the lower window rubber windshield gasket...works a little bit better but still touches the "A" pillar. The wiper motor was rebuilt years ago by "jules" along with the wiper linkage, the two wiper pivots are NOS units which I got from my dealer 20 yrs. ago, wiper arms and blades also new. this is for a 1969 dodge superbee. This one has me stumped, I've tried everything.

Later, BUZZ

Have you checked the bushings?

Sounds like a motor problem to me. Maybe the park position is off.

Pivots on the wrong sides? They do have slightly different arm lengths.
