How do I lower the wind shield wipers on my Bronco to install a bikini top?

Rating9.3Excellent

I just got my new Tom's bikini top in the mail (http://www.tomsbroncoparts.com/product.php?id=305) and realized that I'm gonna need to lower my windshield wipers. As you may have guessed, I'm new to this whole rebuilding scene, so if someone could give me some pointers for (or even better walk me through) lowering the wipers, that would be great. Tom's gave some instructions, but they seemed targeted for people with more advanced mechanical knowledge.
Thanks in advance!

Lowering the wipers? Do you mean the wiper motor? There should be a bracket in the kit to do that. What usually happens is you install a wiper motor drop bracket (should be in kit). What that does is flip the wiper motor over and down. Because the riser for the bikini top is lower than a stock hard top you need to do this. Hope that helps.

WH- Found the bracket you were referring to. It had fallen out of the kit. From there, things made much more sense and worked just as you described. Thanks for the help.
