Very nice - that’s what I wanted to do with mine - just never go to it this summer, but I will in a few months. I also need to lengthen the arm that attaches to the motor - I need more swing.......

Oh wow, I like that!! Did you purchase it as is or did you fab it up?Shame to cover this stuff up but thankful that the wipers don’t squeak anymore

Luckily mine do NOT squeak, [maybe they do but I have so much other noise I can't hear it lol] but if they ever do I would like to go that route.

I fabbed mine up, there is a kit but it’s $100 I had a hard time wanting to cough that much up so I ordered everything from MSC, I think if I were to do it again I would look at 1/4 inch rod ends instead of the 5/16s that I used, I have some more fidgeting todo since the bolt head hits the plastic windshield pivot cover I need thinner rod ends on the driver side pivot

The squeaking was killing me last week it drizzled like 6-7 days straight, look at 1/4 inch rod ends and see if they are thinner than the 5/16 so the plastic cover goes back in the windshield

Ouchy, ouchy, ouchy!!!!!!
That hurts just looking at it!
Doesn't look like a cut, you mashed em didn't you?
Reminds me of the time I was straightening a lawn mower blade using a 27 ton hydraulic log splitter. Would of worked if I hadn't got my hand between the blade and the wedge...............
