Wiper Replacement Question

[jerseygeorge]

Question on re-install of FRONT wiper motor? How do you go about setting "top dead center".

Obviously if you turn the wiper motor on and off, it will stop in it's parked position.

The connection arm I would think would be extended all the way, but you can not get a screw on it that way. Any ideas on how to set the arm that connects to the wiper motor?

Thanks, looking for a suggestion better than my normal trial and error...

OK. Answer my own post. Went outside, cursed a little, threw a wrench, and figured it out.

It does not matter where the motor is installed. My mistake, and the reason the wipers went "backwards" was because I turned off the ignition, before turning off the wipers. The wipers motor never "parked" before I installed the wiper arms.

Easy to figure out... Just needed a few choice words.
