wiper knob

How does the wiper switch knob come off on a '65 GMC. There is no set screw in sight.

Re: wiper knob

With the knob all the way out, reach behind the dash and on top of the light switch there is a spring loaded button. Push the buttom down and pull the rod and knob out. It can be a little tricky/frustrating until you get the hang of it.

edit: that button may be on the side.....been a while since I've done it.

Re: wiper knob

Sorry......guess I need to learn to read

On the wiper switch knob there should be a set screw IIRC. Is it an original style switch?

Re: wiper knob

The original single-speed and 2-speed wiper switch knobs were secured to the wiper switch via a flathead or allen head set screw. Sometimes the cavity is filled up and hard to detect. After the set screw is loosened, it simply pulls off the switch. I hope this information is helpful.
