How do you change the wiper linkage on a 1981 lebaron?

Answer 1

You might not have to replace the entire linkage. I went to Chrysler Part Dept. and picked up a bag of the nylon or plastic clips that goes on the ends of the linkage where it connects to the other moving parts. They just clip on to a stud and into a hole. (The right side wiper linkage came off where it hooks to the wiper arm. they get brittle and break apart after a few decades.) To get to them, remove the plastic panel that sets under the rear of the hood. Then remove a couple of plastic screens that cover the ends of the linkage. After some cuts and scrapes that result in about half a pint of blood loss, your wipers should work as good as new. P.S. My Lebaron was an 89. Hopefully they didn't change that much......
