mfg Posted December 31, 2016 Report Posted December 31, 2016 For repair work, what is the old 'mechanics trick' to access the right side windshield wiper pivot on '63-'85 Avantis?
mfg Posted February 4, 2017 Author Report Posted February 4, 2017 ANSWER...An access hole can be cut into the fiberglass 'roof' of the glovebox compartment which REALLY CAN HELP!! After the repair, the hole can be covered with a removable plate. One has to stand on his head to see it!!
silverstude Posted February 7, 2017 Report Posted February 7, 2017 Cut a what? why not just reach up under the dash. The Pside pivot is pretty accessible. It's the driver side that's bear to get to..

silverstude Posted February 7, 2017 Report Posted February 7, 2017 I used to remove the dash endplate(s) and cut out what was hidden under it, leaving enough purchase for the fastening screws. I know it was a great help on the driver side regarding the gauges. I can't recall if the Pside was of any help...
