Help with wiper motor - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Very long time lurker. I thought I would share a pic of my truck 69 SWB - frame off resto. Stock stance, Im going to drop it 2.5 soon.

Very dumb question and wanted to see what you would do.

My wiper is installed wrong, meaning when I turn on the wipers, the arms would rotate down towards the hood (luckily I tested the direction before putting the arms on). I REALLY dont want to remove the cowl and deal with sealing screws again since its newly painted. Is there another option without removing the cowl to get the arms to reverse?
Im thinking about removing the wiper switch wiring and just using RainX. The truck doesnt see rain anyways.

What do you think?

Could the arm be on the motor 180 degrees out?

Get a buddy to come help. It will take less than an hour. Looks like a nice truck. Your probably tired of working on it I know, but you will be satisfied in the end it's done right, and everything WORKS.
