Wiring is already in place but there a re a couple of challenges. First is drilling the holes in the correct spot. It would help to have access to a hatch with wiper to measure off. The second is getting the hose up the c-pillar, across the top of the hatch opening and hooked up to the nozzle.
I did this on my project car. Just take your time and don't get frustrated!Ian

I snaked a coat hanger up the right rear "C" piller, attached the hose to it with duct tape, and pulled it down. Easy.Originally posted by jawja jim View Post
Of course, if he just wants a wiper, he doesn't have to do all the washer-related work.Last edited by TominMO; 04-06-2016, 12:52 PM.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

Hi grampahawg, I've got a couple of wiper hatches in Mount Airy if you're interested. Will save a lot of work. Also have a wiper drive and arm.Jack Byrd,

I waited to do my wiper install until I found a wiper hatch that also had spoiler holes.Last edited by bravekozak; 05-11-2016, 06:39 PM.Comment
