I can find no visable hole in the dash/cowl area that would accomodate the windshield wiper vacuum hose. The area looks original though. The old hose is curled up under the dash for some wierd reason. Any thoughts?

I think it goes through the windshield post, so the hole would be hidden. I'm just guessing, but I think it's that way on our Speedster. A metal line comes out then runs up to the top corner of the windshield, where a rubber hose then attaches and leads to the wiper motor.
That said, I know that your windshield folds down, so I doubt it's exactly the same. Worth a check, though.

Thank you, By your picture, it looks like it threads down through the w/s framework. When (If) it stops snowing I'll be able to check it out.
