  • Patent number: 4310943
    Abstract: A vehicle window cleaning system disclosed includes window wipers which are movable in a controlled fashion off a glass pane of the vehicle window of the drop glass type, and which are protected, out of view, between a header portion of the vehicle and a molded body extension secured to the vehicle when parked. Actuating arms of the wipers include offset segments which engage and follow a pair of spaced finger guides mounted on the header portion of the vehicle through a park stroke. The guide fingers define guide paths for the blades of the window wipers which closely approximate and track the outer exterior surface of a weather seal which seals the header portion and the glass pane of the window when the weather seal is engaged by the window pane. The molded body extension not only conceals the window wipers but also any unfinished body metal seams and/or welds between the header portion and other metal body panels.
