<font face="Arial" size="2">Greetings All,</font>
<font face="Arial" size="2">One of the last fixes on my Amphicar is the wipers. I've spoke withMr. Waveand John B. the last few days and they both gave me good advice but I still can not get them to park properly. They operate fine but they park in a vertical position. I took the motor apart down to the two gears and John, your right, the old grease was more like wax. Removed all of that, cleaned up the contacts that make wipers park, parts cleaned the gears and installed new white lith grease. Put her back together and was hoping that sometimes when you give something a good cleaning it works. Not this time. </font>
<font face="Arial" size="2"> I see how the park is activated by the triangle like metal plate on the main gearthat strikes the rod that opens the contacts but it appears there is no adjustment. I rotated the J fitting on the linkage that attaches to the motor shaft 180 degrees but got the same results. Hopefully this is a simple fix. Any ideas as to what else it could be?</font>
<font face="Arial" size="2">Very nice news letter Amphipoda! Pretty cool little paper insert too!</font>
