The windshield wipers on my 72 chevelle didn't fully set down right when turned off... they ended up still partially on the windshield. SO i took the metal piece that was bolted into the motor(the one with the pin thing in it)and shortened it a little and it still doesn't work quite right. The motor drive link is bent and I have a funny feeling that the arm shouldn't. Does any one have a picture of what it should look like?
Thanks

1. Make sure wiper motor is in park position.
2. Disconnect battery ground cable.
3. Open hood and remove rubber plug from front of wiper door actuator then insert a screwdriver, pushing internal piston rearward to actuate wiper door open.
4. On articulated left-hand arm assemblies, remove carburetor type clip retaining pinned arm to blade arm.
