It's not so much the angle that's critical, it's the motion. With the right spacing from the pivot point of the motor shaft to the pivot point of the connecting arms, you can get the right sweep on the windshield. Again, the issue lies with a self reversing motor and most modern ones go full circle, which won't work in our trucks.

Cheers,
Ted.
