Subject:      Wiper arm flapping all over the place
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

Hi Folks,

So, my passenger side (1989 tin top) wiper arm and blade were frozen
onto the windshield and I didn't realize. I turned on the wipers and
the passenger side now either droops below the windshield or flaps all
the way past 180 degrees and lays in between the passenger and driver
seats on the windshield.

If I'm reading this (
http://www.gowesty.com/tech-article-details.php?id=145 ) right it
seems that maybe it's just the arm that's machined out too much.

A couple of questions. Am I reading this correctly? And so I should
start by getting a new wiper arm? if that doesn't work then is the
next step trying to follow up with using a bolt to secure them
together?

The idea of pulling the dash to replace the motor is really the last
thing I want to do.

Any suggestions or words of wisdom?

Cheers,
Harry
