Hi everyone,
I took apart and refreshed the gearing in my wiper motors (1967 FJ45 LPB) last night. Got them running really nicely on the bench, then reinstalled, set the wiper arms into the correct positions, and switched them on for a moment.
To my surprise, the passenger and driver's side arms swing toward one another. I have a 1965 FJ40, and I could have sworn that its wipers swing parallel to one another.
Can you guys confirm whether or not they are supposed to swing together or in parallel? Also, given the design, there really isn't a way to reverse the spin of the motor since it's grounded to the body.
