thats what i am talking about ! i am excited about the clip swap !

if they mounted in a different location on the bulkhead im sure that there allready dimples put in the sheetmetal where you need to drill the holes as the basic cabdesign hasnt changed
i just know that in one of the two setups (think it was the newer style) where theres an extra plate added under the frontwindow to cover up the hole left by the shorter bonnet / hood
the one without the extra sheetmetal allso has the shorter stalks where the wiperarms fit ontoo to get them to duck under the hoodedge when in the rest position
not sure how they mounted that extra bit of sheetmetal , it might be there spotwelded in but the sheetmetal under that is the same old or new style
we will see very soon !
