Windshield wiper motor/dash speaker access.

Took my dash out of my truck (needs to be replaced)

Along with that I want to put in a nice and functional dash speaker
And the Detroit speed selcta speed wiper motor.

With the dash out it's easy to notice how accessible the speaker
And wiper motor is lol.

Are these 2 items accessible with the dash installed?
(Asuming the bare dash only. No wiring or ac/heater components)

I may also be over thinking the issue too. Making seem more of a issue
Than it needs to be.

Re: Windshield wiper motor/dash speaker access.

They are accessible, but you may exercise your "adjectives" as you get them out or put them in. I have always removed the speakers first, then do the wiper motor. It is still tight, but I have done worse things.

Re: Windshield wiper motor/dash speaker access.

IF you don't have the wiring and more importantly the a/c duct work in place you can access it pretty easily. Once everything in place it is really a pain to get to.
