Finally started putting together my 32 4 door/ I'm working on the wiper tubing and put the original up so I wouldn't lose it and >>>>>. I'm looking for any info (and hopefully pictures) of size, length, shape and routing. If I'm reading my parts book correctly it should be 3/16 X 42" metal tubing. I really appreciate any assistance any one can give.

The tubing is installed in the drivers front pillar post. Not sure when or how that is done. My pillar was replaced by someone else but later I found that the tubing had holes in it. I put a wire inside the tubing and was able to remove the tubing by pulling it out from the bottom. Using 1/4" truck plastic brake tubing I was able to feed it up the post and into place to connect with rubber hose to the wiper motor. I don't know if that is possible with steel tubing or not .

Thanks for the response. My "A" pillars are already installed guess the best route for me is the 1/4" plastic tubing. I'm guessing 1/4" rubber hose to the wiper motor?

Yes but the hose connects to the arm crank plate assy which has a nipple on it for the hose. Do a search for wiper with user hardaground. Post # 349659 8/19 2015 it shows the plate with the hose from the header attached to a 90 degree nipple.

Got ahold of hardaground and he is being most helpful. Thanks for the input. I bought the 1/4" plastic and it slid in like a breeze.
