    I was wanting to know if on the 70-72 A-Body GM cars if the rear view mirror is different for a convertible?What about the stainless trim that runs across the bottom of the winshield,where the wipers are?
    Thanks

    I changed my '71 from non-park wipers to the park wiper set-up. This was one of the first projects I did on the car. I found the stainless trim on the bottom of the windshield was substantially narrower for the non-park set-up. Had to find a trim from a car that had the hidden wipers originally. Wiper arms also differ between the two styles.
    My car is a hardtop.
    Easy way to check a car is by looking at the wiper motor. Non-park motors are a rectangular box coming off the firewall. Park style are a round motor housing, hanging down.
