Wiper Cables- need help with how to reinstall
#1

Chris Reeves
Our Packard was repainted and the body guy removed the two bolts in the engine bay holding the tensioners inside the car. When the car was returned the cables were off the "cam" inside the car for both sides. The car is a 1956 Executive.

I'm at a loss on how the cables should be routed. I attached pictures, I'm not sure I have the cables on the right pulley of the tensioners inside the car, I labeled the cables "up", that cable when pulled moves the wiper from the resting spot to the up position. I searched and found the trick to hold the tensioners "open" or against the spring.

The pictures are of the tensioners with my notes on underside of the dash. The wiper cam is in the "home" position or resting when the wipers are turned off. The last picture is the wiper motor in "resting" position or off with the "arm" facing towards the passenger side.

Ok what am I missing, anyone have tricks to get them installed? What cable goes on which grove and do I have all the items at the right set up to run the cables?
