Dear Jim, Jim, and mid-60s Buick rain averse types,
The wiper motor rotates only one way from what I remember.
Okay, that's interesting. I never thought of the wipers operating in much the same way as the rods of a steam locomotive. In that case it should be possible to move the wiper mechanism to park the wipers correctly.
However, back in the Autumn of 2014 the same motor was parking the wipers too low. Here is a photo that I took in part to explain why we had to send the motor back to Detroit Speed:
So I definitely need to be a bit cautious with this rig.
Hi, you can pull the arms off make one out cardboard tape it on and run the wipers to see what you have.Jim
That would certainly be a way to run a test safely.
However given a December 16th surgery date, I think I'll wait to take this on until I've recovered from that.
Happy Holidays, and hope your 2023 is going to be 1000 times better than 2022 for you.
Thanks! I sure need a change in my fortunes!
Cheers, Edouard
