Does anyone have a good pic of all parts needed for wiper mount assembly, and the order that they go on?

Figure 9.34 in the Haynes 914 book has a nice exploded view of teh wiper shaft assembly (1989 edition)

besure to turn the adjusting nut on teh back side enough that the wiper shaft housing (part with bushing in it that sticks out side of the car body) make sure this part is above the "waterline" of the wiper shaft "well" that it sits in on the cowl. this well fills with water, the shaft housing MUST be higher than the water level will be, if not, then when it rains or you wash, the water will seep into the space between the shaft and bushing, and you will get water leaks, and get a rusty wiper shaft.

this is a huge probelm, so get it right. the shaft bushing MUST extend above the water line of the well.
