Wiper blade length

15" on my 72 Pre L . My wipers park on the driver side.

Thanks for the info. I noticed that one arm was longer than the other. Are both sides 15" blades?

Mine are both 15".

Excellent, thanks for the help.

6018 is a 1974 L, the 1974's parked the wipers on the right side (the wiper shafts poke through the grills skewed to the left, the opposite of every other year of Pantera). The long arm mounts on the left side, the blades are 16" long.

That would be what mine are. Thanks for the help George.

Well,
I got some wiper blades and mounted them up on my car and wouldnt ya know they park on the left. My car is a 74 but I am thinking the motor must have gotten mixed up with the one off the other car which was I believe a 73. The shafts seem to be lined up to park on the right as they are offset to the drivers side and the arms have the dogleg to the passenger side. My question is can the motor/linkage be switched to park on the right or do I need a new motor?

I pulled the back cover off of the wiper motor and found that the parking side can easily be changed by rotating the plastic sprocket on the wiper shaft. It looks as if these same motors are made to park on either side someone prefers.

I use 16" blades and wiper arms from a '71 Jaguar XK. They are about $15.00 each, have adjustments for arm length, adapters for different type of blades and the blade position can be rotated on end of the arm. They slip over the splined wiper shafts with no problems and adjustments can be made with the blades on the car for more precise coverage/parking. Pretty handy.

Mine are: NAPA 60-751 Adjustable Wiper Arm. They come in silver (steel), so I painted mine black. I bought them over the internet.
