Only a Pittsburgher from McKees Rocks will be able to translate this... :) ...wait, I'll get my niece.
BTW... Primanti Brothers gave a free Pittsburgher sandwich to all veterans on Veterans Day, just to say "thank you". My salute to them.

I've been all around the world and there's nothing out there as delicious to me as a kielbasa and cheese slathered in hot sauce. How about Jarry in the net last few games!!!
 
OK!!

Ready to start my soft top.

Do the moderators have a suggestion about where I should put it?

I could just continue in my MD Juan Tub build, put it here, or start a new post with a new title.

Thoughts?

When i got my Jeep it had no wipers or wiper motor. And the wires were just cut off at the switch under the dash, so we had no example to follow.

'Just searching on line, it seems my MDJ windshield frame is missing a hole for the wiper wiring to loop down to the dash hole.

As you can see, we punctured the leftmost hole cover in the lower windshield frame, but the jeep photo I just saw on line shows an additional hole. ...oops.

Are the "original" holes really offset like this?

I'm kind of surprised Jeep engineers actually accepted a loose wire just looping out into space between the windshield frame and dash... does this seem just plain "dumb" to anyone else? I wonder how often it gets snagged moving in and out of the vehicle... just the kind of thing I would do.

Has anyone ever punched a hole into the bottom of the frame and aligned another hole into the top of the cowl so this wiper motor wire routing is hidden by the windshield seal joint? Really... how often does the windshield get cycled up and down anyway!?! 100 times? 200 times? Likely not enough to fatigue the wires. Probably less likely to be damaged in the frame/cowl seal joint than hanging out in space into the cockpit... I don't get it.

Oh well... I'm obviously not religious about authenticity (i.e. I'm using an MDJ tub, a younger back seat, etc), but I do try to get close enough to fool/convince the ignorant (i.e. people like me)... dang. Lets see what Joe thinks. We can use the old frame for dimensions /locations if we decide to move this wire.

As Joe likes to say...
"We have the technology."

To which I generally reply...
"We have the time."

My 1969 has this feature too, so pretty sure is stock.

I drilled a hole in the bottom of my windshield and top of my cowl to do away with that loop. It works a treat, and I put a deutsch connector that hangs down behind the dashboard so I can disconnect it but also provides slack so the windshield can fold forward.

My74 came from the factory with the wiring thru the hinge area, never gave any trouble.
