1928 Ford Model A aftermarket wiper
Hi everyone. I just bought an after market wiper kit (See image) for my 1928 Model A two door coupe. This kit came without instructions. There seems to be mounting holes on the windshield frame, but I am new to the Model A world and I am not sure how to install this kit. Is anyone on here familiar with this unit and can help with installation instructions?

Re: 1928 Ford Model A aftermarket wiper

Re: 1928 Ford Model A aftermarket wiper
I agree with SeaSlugs, you better have a 12V negative ground system in your model A when you install the aftermarket wiper. Stock model A's have a 6v positive ground. Also, it appears the mounting of the wiper is going to be a real pain. The wiper from Mac's doesn't look anything like the wiper than came on a model A. 1928 model A coupes came with Owen-Dyneto (OD-C1) wipers that had mounting arms that fit in the holes in the windshield. The wiper wire is also a pain to install from the terminal box up the passenger side A pillar and across the top of the windshield. Grounding the wiper is also a problem sometimes, as only the power wire is connected to the wiper and the wiper relies on the chassis to provide the ground. I have a 28 model A coupe that has a OD-C1 wiper.

I believe that's a one size fits all and if installed I don't think the windshield can be opened. FWIW

It looks like it would be installed from the inside on the windshield frame. The vehicle is 12V negative ground.

Re: 1928 Ford Model A aftermarket wiper
I got that. I received a kit with no installation instruction, assemble, wiring, nothing. Do you have any?

This is all that was in the box. No need to google Vintique.
