Wiper Motor Access

[stevegintn]

Guys, what's the best (easiest) way to access the wiper motor, for removal/replacement? (asking for a friend)

[Alan H. Tast]

ONLY way is to remove the cowl panel between the hood and windshield. I won't get into the details but it means also removing wiper arms.

What year is the car?

Alan, are you sure about that? (I should know, that's the WRONG QUESTION, to ask you Lol!)
Seriously, after you replied, I went out to look at my 61 parts car - I had salvaged the front cowl a couple years ago, for my 62.
After digging out all the leaves, I saw that the are 3 'cutouts' in the under-cowl - but no wiper motor. Maybe you meant, the BOLTS are accessible under the cowl?

Jim Mills, I forget what model the guy's car is (he posted the question on a Facebook forum). But I'm assuming that 61-63 will be similar, if not identical? (yea, I know what happens, when you #@*-U-ME)

The 61 and 62 have electric wipers the 63 has hydraulic wipers that runoff the power steering return line.

The electric wiper motor can be accessed by removing the speaker grille and speaker, not easy but can be done. The 63 hydraulic system is installed under the cowl air intake panel.

OK, I had read that 63 were hydraulic, and somebody else told me about going in thru the speaker port - thanks!
