A LOT of you were kind enough to help me get these working, but they are "off". If you look at the drivers side you tell it's higher than the passengers. When I run 'em the drivers side goes off the windshield. Can anybody tell me where that adjustment is made? As always, thank you in advance.

You should be able to take back off and turn it to match the other one

pull the wiper arm off the pivot (careful not to scratch the paint!) and adjust as needed.and I'd say the passenger arm needs up a touch.

Agreed. The pass side is to low (hitting the trim) and the driver side is to high. Lift the arm and slide the locking tab out to unload the spring. You should then be able to remove from the shaft and relocate them in the proper positions.

I'm with drop top on that one. They make a tool for taking them off but don't know what it looks like. Some of them use to use a bent screw drive to push the clip. Well cant have wiper's not in sink. Russ. :applouse:

you need to move the tab back, and pry the wiper arm up at the same time...side to side. and be mindful of the paint. swing by, I'll give you a hand...:jester:

Yep! Already happened to me with my window vent. Used the channel locks to turn the lever and snapped that bastard right off! Wonder what that'll cost me!
