Default Wiper switch

I have a 1980 C3 and need to replace the wiper switch. I had a hard time finding a new one at a reasonable price so I found a used one that works great! My question is, do I have to take apart the dash to swap the switch out or is there a way to do it without pulling the dash pad off? Has anyone done this that can help me out?

You have to pull the speedo/tach cluster out to access the switch. Willcox has instructions on their website on pulling the cluster out. Here is the link...

You may consider changing dash bulbs and the headlight switch while your in there. You only want to do it once. Don't ask me how I know.
