Can't help with reengineering wipers, but mine on the 71roadster are fast
as all H$@#. Not bragging, just thinking , maybe the motor is good if it
is cleaned or something. My problem is, none of the wipers touch the
middle third of the width of the windscreen. Almost like the glass is
bowing. Has anyone ever experienced this before?
