Wiper Arms not swinging far enough

[Dealercut66]

I bought the dual electric wiper conversion kit from Tom's and they installed with no problems (besides laying down the windshield that had never been laid down before). I got to use them this last week and they do not swing from the top of the windshield all the way the left. They cover like 2/3rds of the full arc. Is that normal or can I adjust this somehow?

Send me the girl in your pic and I"ll solve your wiper problem.....lmao

You should be able to move the mount left or right to increase or decrease the throw to a point. Just don't go to far or they will not pivot right. But I have the stock ones on my 77 and they don't move a whole lot anyway.

Maybe I'll post a pic. They really only seem to cover 2/3rds of the area I think they should cover.

I got the same things going on. They are only 110 degree swing. I'm thinking of moving my drivers side wiper 6" to the left. I dont think there's much you can do short of leaning in towards the passenger.

They should be adjustable. At least all the ones I've seen are. You take the cover off & see that the wheel that the motor turns has a few holes in it. The hole closest to the center pruduces the smallest angles swipe & the hole closest to the edge produces the largest. On mine, the largest swipe (I think) is 110°, which is too big. The next one gives the 2/3 swipe. For the past 10 years I been planning on drilling a new hole in just the right spot. It's prolly pretty easy but I doubt I'll ever find out for sure
