Wiper Arm Swap with Someone Driving a RHD XJS?
I have a 1996 Jaguar XJS and I have reversed the window wiper motor so that the wiper arms park on the USA passenger's/UK driver's side of the windshield.
I am posting here to see if anyone is interested in doing the same and swapping wiper arms? The arms are slightly bent to account for being parked on one particular side. I would like to have the ones that are specifically bent to be parked in the other direction. I know that Jaguar made wiper arms bent in both directions based on what side of the windshield they park on.
Does that make sense?
It's not too difficult to reverse the wiper arm parking position. I was wondering whether anyone wanted to have their wipers park on the passenger's side as well. We can then swap arms so they're bent in the proper direction for both of us!
Thanks.

Basically you remove the grille, pull up the motor assembly and rotate the cam 180 degrees.
It takes a bit of timing to turn the wiper motor on and off, but eventually you can time it so the the cam has rotated to it's opposite end.
I should have taken photos, but I did it on a lark. I was in there doing something or other and then I just decided to see of I could get it done.
