OK, I admit it, I'm a newbie to the list.  I'll try not to be too stupid.  
Here's my question:  I just got a '66 Mk1A.  I made my living working on 
British 
cars back in the '60's, but have been away from them for quite a while.  My 
wiper motor is acting funny.  When driving at highway speeds, the air gradually 
raises the wiper arms and eventually the motor advances one cycle (or more on 
a wet windshield), obviously because the limit switch want to re-park the 
arms.  I adjusted the switch, paying close attention to the location of the 
dimple and have tried several settings, but it still does it.  I did notice 
that 
wipers don't creep up at all if the power is totally disconnected (unplug the 
ground wire), so it's not just the wind causing it to creep.  I can rip the 
whole thing apart, but was curious if anyone was familiar with the problem and 
knew the solution already.  Thanks for any help.
