Or is that all ass backwards?
I think I started from the drivers side. I first found the position that gives the full sweep from vertical to horizontal. Then with that blade in place you can find the position of the other two arms and blades. I found taking the spring off one of the arms helps. But i'm sure you can go the other way and end up in the same place.

The usual rule of 'measure twice, cut once' becomes 'measure 6 times and cut once'!!
