I need to replace the wiper linkage / transmission on this car for my daughter. The spline has stripped on the drivers side. How do I remove the body panel to get to the motor linkage assembly.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Thank you very much...

One more question if you would be so kind.

Looks like 4 clips(?) hold the cowl on the engine side. Haven't seen the car yet to examine. She is bringing it over tonight

Thanks in advance
