    Forward thinking, it's all the rage!!

    I'm going to be pulling the dash out to replace the top and paint the front in a month or so and I want to pre-plan some of those awkward under dash jobs while I'm at it.

    For now, I can think of tidying some wiring and general cleaning on top of my "Need to do job" which is tinker with the wiper motor and sort out a sticky wiper spindle.

    Can anyone recommend some other things to check and fix before they go wrong while the dash is out?

    grommets round the wiper spindles and washer jets.
     
  3. washer hose replacement and what ricky said (which really needs the wiper motor out or its a pig of a job)

    other than the wires not much else under there as long as your fresh air vent tubes are all ok and heater cables work

    I'll add heater cables to the list ;)
     
  5. You could waxoyl some of the less accessible areas like the inside of the inner windscreen surround, the inside of the front panel next to the a pillars and down the bottom where the front joins the inner valance, all easier with the dash out. Do all your dash bulbs work?

  6. Clean up your wiper mech, change the washer hoses and take off and clean all the switch connections on the dash. Strip out any wiring "improvements".
