Topic: Wipers going too far off windshield
in Forum: C3 Electrical
The driver's side windshield wiper goes off the side of the windshield by about 4 inches. Is there any way to adjust this? The motor is new since a few years ago.

Does it park in the correct spot?

My first Vette, now owned by JB79:
They both seem to park in the right spot. And the passenger-side wiper does not go past the windshield edge.
Since these are both pivoted at the same spot, I don't see how this is possible.

Bill, take a look at THIS thread on how to adjust your wipers arms. 😉
Thanks! I'll try that tomorrow.
I adjusted the wiper travel, though it was already almost at the end of the adjustment. I need to try when the windshield is wet, that is when it seems to flail the most.
The wipers always seemed to struggle to get off the park position; they''ll struggle for a few cycles before actually moving across the windshield.
You can get some easy adjustment by turning the straight slot screw on wiper arm.
