    Okay. I took her apart. Simple really. Just drilled the rivets down and punched them though. Easy enough. I didn't lose fingers like Pirate did either, I consider myself lucky.

    Nothing really to the whole mechanism just the interval contacts on the switch itself with a nice rivet holding on to the wiper switch arm that I will drill out and transfer to a correct switch when I get one or just swap that entire arm if it is similar. Aside from the wiper arm there is only two little springs that hold up that plate looking thing (that makes contact with the switch pins, as well as a ball bearing that gives one operating the wiper swith that positive click sound when changing settings.

    So now I wait for a correct wiper switch that works to transfer my parts over to.

        Those are the only ones he found.


        And a razor blade would work just fine for removing chrome. It helps if the chrome is already pealing though :p
