My passenger side wiper hits the hood.  Is there an adjustment for this?

Or you can put shims under the hood latch to make the hood a bit higher.  The shims look like a wheel alignment shim only thinner and larger.  They are "U" shaped.

Hmmm...if the wiper is actually hitting the hood, the wiper arm is prolly bent/arched out away from the glass, or your wiper blades may be wrong for the car...too thick, that is. Or...the spring that holds the wiper arm/blade down on the glass may be broken, or weak...

Well, it is actually the wiper arm, where it attaches to the wiper blade.  Only on the passenger side.  I'm using plastic wipers and the arm is metal, from a 79.

The plastic wiper may be too high Vrs the steel type

Where can I find the steel type at?  Thanks for all the help.   :)

Wal Mart, Auto zone etc, should have them, make sure you get the right size..I believe 16" John

Sometimes ya have to look hard to find the"older" style wiper blades...seems most of them now are the plastic ones. One thing I did on my '74, for Judging, was to buy new blades, and remove the rubber part from the plastic, and insert that into my original blade holders...works pretty well. That may be an option if you can't find the metal blades to fit your car...

of course, if you don't have the original metal blade holders, that little bit of info is pretty much useless, isn't it? Adams' Apple2008-11-13 11:43:15
