I just had the windshield replaced on my '57 Eldorado Biarritz and I'm having a debate with the glass installer about the placement of the lower windshield molding.  He reinstalled the lower stainless molding so that it rests on top of the chrome windshield wiper transmission escutcheon.  It overlaps the escutcheon about 1/8th of an inch.  I think it should be below the escutcheon, but I'm not sure.  Otherwise it rides high with at least a 1/4 to 3/8th inch gap below.  Can anyone enlighten me as to the correct fit?  Thanks very much, Alan

The washer things are on top the molding on my '56.

Common sense dictates its installation this way as reversing it leaves a gap below the molding where it goes over the escutcheon.

I could not agree more!  I go back into "battle" with the installer today so it is good to have at least one data point I can cite.  Thanks again, Alan

Look through your computer for pictures of your car and see if you can blow them up sufficiently to see the washer nozzles.
