Re: Wiper arm problem

I have been messing with my wipers since i've gotten my truck and had two different wiper motors in it. It should be about 2-4inches away from the cowl. Maybe the wrong wiper motor?

I would say one of two possibilities. Either the bolts fell out on the inside (there are 3 of them) or you have a major rust problem around the mounting hole. Get a good flashlight and look at the area of the inner cowl where the wiper shaft comes through and around the wiper under the dash....

Our trucks are known for rusting around the wiper motor.
