'76 CJ5, 232 ci, T-150 3-speed, D20 T-case, Corp. 20 rear w/full float axles and lockout hubs and Detroit auto locker, D30 front w/lockout hubs, gear ratio is unknown..
Could somebody please show me where the normal 'off' position of the wipers should be? And then explain the motion of a normal wiper arc for a CJ??
I went to put my wiper arms on today, and the only position that they would stay in full contact with the window while wiping is if I attached them in, or around the 1-2 o'clock position on the window (looking through the glass from the seat, driver's wiper). And when I turn them on, it does a short down wipe, and then of course wipes normally, and stops back in the first position I described.
I've seen other's pics, and their wipers look to be all the way down when resting, or off (at least the driver's)... is there something wrong with mine??
