You can possibly check to see if it is a problem by trimming both ends of the existing hose and reconnecting them. However chances are the hose is to old and hard to make a good seal.

I would move the wipers to mid stroke and then start the motor to see if they return to park. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 212 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 212 | I had the same problem with mine on my 58.Tried all of the do it yourself hints and suggestions new gaskets,transmission fluid and everything else.When all was said and done I still had no wipers , just that hissing noise.Sent it to the wiper man there in New York and they work just as good as new. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 835 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 835 | Yeah, the Wiperman can fix you right up. I also added the dual action fuel/vacuum pump to my burb. Now I even have wipers when I go up hill.
