1963-67 wiper arm cover installation

[Louie C.]

how are plastic wiper arm covers installed? Does the wiper arm knurled end have to be removed to install these covers?

my guess is he means the plastic booties that cover the wiper transmission posts on 66-67s.
I think the answer is no, you don't remove the knurled ends, and you drop the booties in hot water to soften them before installing.
If I'm off by a mile on this, I'm sure I will hear from Louie.

Don,
You are correct, they fit very snug and if you try and install the, without softening in HOT water they will split. I did mine about a year ago when I restored my 67.
