    Hello

    When I look the pics, windshield wipers seems to be hidden under engine hood ?
    On mine this is not
    Only a tune to do and how ? Just to unbolt each arm and put it lower in stop place ?

    What you are describing is that your wipers do not park properly. This is controlled by a park switch on the wiper motor. Remove the white cover held on the wiper motor by 4 screws and clean the copper contacts. Apply a little lubricant (dielectric grease) and reassemble. Should be good to go.

    And make sure it's grounded properly also.

    No the arm doesn't go lower. but thinking more, I thing only the arms are not at the proper place. Maybe a windshield change ? I'm going to try this.
    1978 GT you're right, I've got a problem in the motor. I've to open the white cover and check :
    On intermittent arms stop where you see them on the pic. If I switch off normally, it stops vertical ! But if I switch of when they are praticly horizontal it stop at the right place.

    Pmrphil : you're right only with having unplugged de motor switch and apply WD40, I can now stop wipers at the lower part of windscreen.
    It was that before
