Thanks very much!! That is a huge help to me. I was wondering how to get all those covers off in case I wanted to try adjusting the wiper assembly further. (I don't know why anyone would want to park the wiper vertically though, guess it is a "subwoofer" kind of a thing - I'm so cool my wiper stands straight up...) So now I know how to take it apart and tweak to my hearts content. I am wondering if possibly the replacement windshield could have had a slightly different shape to it which could affect this? My biggest clue is that it only skips on the drivers side, even though it should be perfectly symmetrical. The wiper "gear head" does appear to be tilted ever so slightly toward the passenger side. I tried to make some fine measurements of this last weekend and came up with something like 1 degree (can't remember exactly). So I was thinking I might try to shim it a bit to even it out.

Thanks,

Mike
