Any suggestion would be appreciated. Your mistake was in removing the pivot arm, as this needs to be in just the right position. To get it back where it belongs here's what you do: Run the wipers and then stop them by turning off the wiper switch. Disconnect the battery ground strap to prevent them from starting up again if you should bump something. Really, this IS important. Loosen up the pivot arm and carefully rotate it until it is in the position that puts the wipers to the extreme on the side where you want them to park. Tighten the pivot arm in this new position. Connect the battery cable and try it again. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
