Glenn,

If yours has the original hydraulic(power steering pump driven) control,
the knob just pulls off the flat lever. BTW, I saw a few electric motor
conversions at Marion. Overheard someone ask Chuck Stoddard about his.
He replied that he had thought about selling a kit, but it was too much
trouble to make the conversion.

What make electric motors were used on the conversions?
Would Chuck share his application with the netters?
I would like to eliminate the lever for more Gauge room and replace it
with a switch.

Can't add to the replies about the wiper contol knob, but just a word about the
lights. You may find that the bulbs are OK, but the connections are corroded.
In my case I found that it doesn't take much corrosion between the bulb contacts
and the copper film to keep the lights from working.

Also, it's been a while, but can't you get at the back of the instrument panel
by removing the plastic "hood" that goes over and behind the instrument panel.
Max Pardy at Buskirk's showed me that trimming a little off one corner helps a
lot with the removing and replacing. I've had mine off many times while
replacing the radio and working on the heater controls.

Herm:

Golby sells an electric motor operated windshield wiper kit for the
coach. I'm told it is about $487.

Does anyone know a way to get that blasted knob off? It sure would be
nice to have all the lights working in the instrument panel

Glad to do so! It is no secret, there is a product on the market that is
like a miracle for paint and nearly any other porous materials. Don't
recommend it on you path tub or shower floor though. It repels water and is
better than RAIN-X, not knocking a product. Fact is Fact. It is called Dri
Wash and guard. It is made by Envirotech, a USA based company that makes
the products in America, what a change. The OXEYGON is a paint restorer and
before anyone runs off to paint anything try this first. After you have
restored the painted surface it is recommended to use the Dri Wash over it.
Two applications a year is normal. If either is put on with a power buffer,
once a year is all that is needed. To keep the sparkle all you have to do
is take a damp cloth and wipe an area and a dry towel and buff it out to the
same luster it had previously. You get the WET, DEEP shine that you want
and you will never have to wash or wax the vehicle again. Oh if you get it
on your windshield, that is great. Inside or outside it makes like very
easy getting bugs, tar or other irritants off. Try it You will Like it. I
personally guarantee your money back if you are not happy. Thanks Chuck PS
