Perhaps it could also help with a small pillow?
btw a little rain does not hurt a classic car if it is put back in a dry/heated garage where it lives 98% of its life.
What makes is rust is continued humidity/condensation in an un-heated garage on our latitude and/or leaving it parked outside. And then of course never drive in the winter where the roads are salty

Well, I'm very small and have difficulty seeing over the steering wheel.

A couple of owners have been sufficiently annoyed by the stock wipers to modify their Panteras. The first mounted a single central mount wiper, similar to racing cars. He said it was the single biggest most messy mod he'd ever attempted. Incidently, he owned a tool-and-die shop at the time. Ultimately successful but the cowl is of such thin steel, he got panel-flex that required significant reinforcement and several other things.
The other Pantera was seen at the 2009 Reno Fun Rally; the entire windshield, cowl and hood (and maybe the rear of both front fenders) were reworked to produce modern looking 'hidden' wipers. Looked beautiful but I was scared to ask what the bodywork cost! I think Wilkinson's shop was involved. I've never personally been that annoyed by a design feature to spend that much money or effort to change it!

The bulkhead bubble is worse and more complicated to do.
The wipers are much simpler by comparison.
I had the grills out before without breaking anything.
I dont rember how though and I'm concerned that was just blind luck?
Getting back to the thread the wheel boxes are Triumph TR6 ones,
still available new here in the UK so I would imagine the Roadster Factory in the USA will hold new stock also.
hope this helps.

ok, why dont you just get the correct ones (from the UK) if I may ask?
Thanks goodroc for the website. I emailed them plan to order a complete wiper assembly kit. They asked me to provide the length of each tube that connects between the motor and each wheelbox. Can you tell me the approximate length? Thanks for the help!

Thank you Peter. I'll check them out too.
Tim if you ask for 2 pieces of 2 feet you will have more than enough to cut from.
Thanks!
