Hello, all,

Forgive me if this question has already been answered, but I can't find what I need, yet, by searching the site.

The drivers side wiper on my 1950 Packard has ceased to wipe. I heard a 'clunk' and the wiper quit moving. The passenger side works fine. I believe the cable has come off the pulley, or maybe a pulley or cable is broken somehow.

I'm looking for a set of instructions on how to install the wipers. Does anyone know where I can get .pdf copies of the Trico installation procedure. I know I once saw one somewhere, but I'm darned if I can find it, now that I need it!

Thanks much,

Mark

There is a service counselor article on servicing and adjusting the cables and the system in Vol22 #10 Aug 1, 1948 issue. Perhaps that will help.

There is a thread from another poster with similar issues and some suggestions, problems and photos.

Thanks for the response, Howard.

Turns out the cable snapped. Anyone have any ideas about where to get replacement setups for the cables, pulleys & tensioners for a 1950 Packard?

You might check the part number to be sure but packards1 has a drivers side unit with the cables.ebay.com/itm/1949-50-Packard-Windshield- ... ssories&vxp=mtr&hash=item56388be4a3

You shouldn't need the tensioner unless a pulley is frozen or is about to fall off -- just some lube. Kanter has them if you do want a new one.kanter.com/packard/pac-454.html Group 31.3772 (listed as 31.3774)
