Don't know if this belongs here or in electrical, but...

After getting the windshield installed, I put the wiper blades on and turned the wipers on to check for parking position. The passenger arm moved about 1/3 of the way, then stopped. I got under the dash and found that the arm had slipped off the wiper motor. Feeling around I discovered that the drivers side was also loose and ready to come off. I found the little spring retainer on the floor.

Is there a better way to secure the arms? I put in an electrical wiper motor from Jim Carter, but that was back when there was nothing else under the dash and no transmission or foot pedals. Even then I couldn't get the clips that came with the motor on, which is why I was using the spring clip thing.

Any suggestions appreciated.

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur ( https://timwhiteblues.imgur.com/ ). I live way back in the woods in the Ozarks on 40 acres at the end of a 2 1/2 mile private road.
