[Chevelle-list] Part name?

[Pelle Andersson]

Mine's a Malibu but my hidden wipers parks a bit too high!
The top of the wipers rests upon the glass.
So they're just partly hidden :-(
As if the wiper motor arm where a bit too short!

Maybe someone have changed the motor/arm during the years?

How long should the short "arm" attached to the wiper engine axle be?

  Pelle,  they made 2 versions.  The hideaway went on the Malibu and the non-Malibu plain jane stopped on the windshield.  There are also 2 different stainless pieces, at least on a 72.  The larger one with the hideaway and the shorter that parked on the windshield.  All the motors where the same.  I think the parts the arms mount to are different as well, but it has been over 10 years since I switched mine over to the hideaway as my car was the basic Chevelle, non-Malibu.  I have had 3 '72's.  My $.02

  Ahh! Yeah! That's the piece :-)
  But my wipers are just partly hidden, they just refuse to go all the
  way down to "parked position". Could it be the viper motor arm that's
  to short (maybe it's from another car?)

     GroundUp calls it a windshield molding:   http://www.ss396.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=chevellecamino&Product_Code=KLM-3A&Category_Code =   This looks & is priced like the one for hidden wipers.

      What is the stainless panel below the windshield called?
      The one wipers rests upon when they're "parked"?

      Best regards
