Has anyone used the DSE wiper kit on a 2nd gen bird. I think the only diffference is the switch. What other modifications are required? Any pics of the switch installation would be great, Ty has some pick, but not with the complete switch installed.

You will use the recessed version of the kit, the only thing is the mounting of the switch takes some creativeness to mount. The opening in the stock location works , but there is nothing back there to mount the actual switch to. So you must fabricate something to secure the back side of the switch

You need to make a bracket like the one below and clearance the plastic supports in the dash. Details in this thread. https://www.pro-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=62487&highlight=carbon+fiber+dash

Thanks for the input. Also wondering how the switch including the knob look in the dash?

Who's billet knobs are those Mike? Look like Ride Tech (Air Ride)?
