365 GTB/4 Daytona Windshield Wiper Setup

The wiper arms can be detached from the splined shafts that drive them. Just remove the arms and clock them a tooth or two in either direction to get them to park at the base of the windshield. That should get you the best coverage possible, which is not full coverage - mine reverse about the 12:00 o'clock position.

 

The angle of rotation is based on a gear and connecting rod internal to the wiper motor. If you still have the original wiper motor, then there is no reason to remove and modify the motor. The solution is the one given above - reposition the wiper arm on the splined shaft. You should ensure that the wiper remains on the glass at both ends of the rotation. In some cases the parked position will not be next to the windshield moulding. This is trial and error to get it right.

 

When the wiper switch on a Daytona is turned off, the wiper motor runs backwards, causing the wipers to have extra rotation in the down-ward position. This parks the wipers off of the windshield, below the rear of the hood. When the wipers are running, and the motor is running in the normal direction, all of the wiper travel should be on the windshield.
