I just finished installing the two wiper transmissions, the defroster ducts and the cables around the wiper drum. I found out I am not as limber and patient as I was 20 years ago when I did this on the same car.
I hope this is the last time! I took them out along with the windshield to get it painted.
I going to need a hot bath and a masseuse!

Great accomplishment. I know that's far from easy. Impressive. I had a pro do it for me.
And after all that the wipers are pretty much useless in a real rain.

Looking Good Plaidside. I can relate as I too have done those same things twice in the last 40 years, first time when I was about 25 and last time in my mid sixties. Next time someone else will be doing it. I'm on my third set of carpets and now need to do the soft top for the second time.
