Another Hidden Wiper Approach

[esenior]

I know...I know...not another thread about hidden wipers. Just wanted to offer another approach that I don't believe has been discussed.



I also smoothed my firewall on my 69 Camaro and didn't want to mount a wiper to it. I bought the WWK-2 kit from Specialty Power Windows a few years ago with no idea on how I was going to mount it. At the time, I paid over $250 for it, but you can now find these kits on ebay for under $150.

My original concern was that I didn't want to mount it anywhere where a painted panel would have to be removed to access it (like under the fender). I finally decided to mount it behind the glove box in the interior. I welded threaded studs to 2 pieces of square tube, and welded them inside of the firewall to hold the motor assembly. I made a hole in the cowl (which will eventually get a grommet) for the drive tube to run through. It'll probably be a lot louder being inside, but at least the motor and even the transmission aren't visible as the drive tube tucks nicely up into the top of the cowl.

If you want to go this route, make sure you get the larger knurls (sp?) for the Camaro arms. You'll also need to use the mounts from the old transmission assembly. I can provide more information on this if anyone needs it. ---Eric
