Windshield Wiper Installation

[Eldorado]

Could someone please identify the steps to install the windshield wipers wheelhouses and tubes. The drive motor is of course attached to the dash and the wheelhouses are mounted on the rear body section. This is all hidden behind the vertical firewall. How do you cut the guide tube sections correctly when the bodywork hides everything....

Thanks

Are you installing this on a completed car? I could see where that would be difficult it the windshield and body were attached. The steps outlined here are pretty straight forward.

I did what Rob posted above. It may take a few stabs at getting the correct length tubing. Note that it makes a difference on the park feature if you put the wheel boxes in with the wheel up or down...

I just checked my pictures...I couldn't get a nice curve to the tubing with the wheel up (tubing down (or toward the front) so I ended up mounting the wheel down (or towards the front and the tubing toward the back). This gave me the best arch for the tubing but I will have to manually park the wipers with the switch.
