Help! Wiper arm linkage - could never work as is, so it's wrong....

[davepl]

I spent a good chunk of this afternoon fighting with the wiper motor. Installed it without removing the freshly painted cowl, which was no fun, but did it. Motor ran until the linkage hit the internals of the cowl, popped a fuse, and stopped.

I pulled the cowl, r&r'd the wiper motor, but it still hits the inside of the cowl (just some bracing). There's no way the arms can go far enough such that the wiper arm pivots would rotate all the way around.

I'd pull it apart further, but it was the body shop that put the linkage in (so I wouldn't have to remove the cowl) and I'm suspecting they might have done something wrong. Can anyone spot a problem from the photo, or point me at some detailed drawing of how it's -supposed- to be set up?

Thanks!
Dave
