Hey listers,

I need to change out the wiper motor on my 83 westie but not sure of the
game plan.  When I first looked at the situation it seemed pretty
straightforward, but when I actually started was not so.  there seems to be
no way to access the mounting plate without remoiving the dash! Am I
missing something here?  Unfortunately the bentley I have does not cover
this procedure well.  I guess VW had such confidance in their wiper motors
that fix for it was not necessary.  Has anyone done this before that can
lend some input?  Any response would be great.

John............
