John,
You need to remove the access panel to replace the wiper wheel boxes. There
is a access panel behind the glove box and behind the tach. Remove the tach
and glove box to get to them. Mine were not riveted in. Mine had phillip had
screws. If you are only replacing the wiper motor cable then you do not have
to remove the panels. Be careful -- The wheel boxes that got from TRF were
so tight that I had to put my old ones back in. Also make sure they are in
correctly so that the wipers move in the correct position when operated.

Subject: Wiper Mechanism
I just purchased new wiper mechanisms for the TR6. I noticed a note in the
TRF sale catalog that the access point is under the dash behind the glove
box. I see the access panel and can get to it with out too much trouble.
The access panel on the fire wall is riveted in place, not screwed. Am I
correct in assuming that the correct procedure is to undo the cable at the
wiper motor and then slide both mechanisms out through the back of the dash
board, or do I need to drill out the rivets and remove the fire wall panel
to get to the driver's side wiper? Any information would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
John Z
