help with Wiper cam for concealed windshield wipers

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Sat Sep 17, 05 3:21 pm

Trying to get the wipers working on my 69 fury hardtop, looks like part of the wiper cam mechanism is broken, can anyone show me what it should look like, or does anyone have an item like this? Or can anyone tell me what other cars might have this design of cam (wipers go under the back of the hood when you turn them off, so not the same as 69 Charger etc)

Im in a real hurry to get this through an MOT!

Thanks!

Looks like damage in line with the arm there, but might not be enough to prevent wipers parking and concealiing.
Not much help but Challys have the concealled wipers.
My 71 wouldnt conceal at alland then failed completely, striped it down regreased and then it would.
Even the T/A conceals sometimes, but not all time.
You might find you can clean up the motor and parts, regrease and it will work. Shouldnt fail an MoT over it though.

Thanks James. I stripped, cleaned greased etc and amazingly it now works, and parks, despite having broken off bits!

Thanks also to Steve Latil who drove round about 10 minutes after my post with a spare (broken in same place) mechanism!
