Has anyone installed the new wiper kit yet?

Yes. The installation instructions are uncharacteristically detailed, and the whole process is quite simple. There are naturally some tweaks required...this is not Ikea stuff.

I have kept the car white and the black wiper cowl etc. looks good with the white car, in my opinion.

I haven't got a good enough camera, or found the right lighting to get a decent photograph. The reflection from the windscreen doesn't help!

Wow they look great. Looks like I will be ordering a kit. Do they make any mention of a washer?

How does the kit affect the access to the brake master cylinder?

Severely! See Manual Rev 1J for good photos.

The Cowl Panel will have to be removed, at a minimum for access. Considering how easy that is and how seldom one typically has to add fluid, it doesn't cause me any concern.

Now I better understand why the cut is required and why that wiper topic is such of a concern for many of us. It's cuz the hood slides over the glass quite a lot. I don't have any other car in mind designed that way, so now I get it. I didn't think it was going over, I thought it was just flush at the bottom edge of the glass.

Good pic. :)

Not sure I'm with you Frank.

To be quite sure it is best to go through Manual Update 1J which has all the info for you to be certain you have the whole thing by the ......
