Soft top wiper motor cover

Post by ZOSO »

Ever wonder how to cover up that ugly wiper motor when running no top or a soft top. Well I have the answer how.

This was constructed out of I believe 4in gutter. (Ya know the gutter on your house.) It is screwed on the top and the bottom. End caps made out of wood. Covered in vinyl. Just a nice touch to cover that ugly wiper motor. I will have to get some better pics when its light out. And more complete/better pics.

Very cool - I am impressed with the ingenuity. Does that gauge really work? What is the warning light? Adding a dome light would be smooth too. Thanks for posting that up.

The gauge is the transmission temp. The indicator is for the front ARB. The speakers are for the CB and the 2meter radio. There is a dome light. If you look closely you will see a factory one mounted on the bottom side just like stock.

Here is a crappy pic of the lower dash/console. Nice way of mounting things and to add a nice touch.

I need to see your Bronco in person ZOSO - that is a sweet console too. Lots of great ideas

I wish I could take credit for these things. My grandpa liked to tinker when he owned it. Here are a few more shots.

and to cover the gaps from the soft top adaptor

Image

and another shot of the console/lower dash. you can see the padded cover where the radio goes. I didn't wanna cut the factory dash so i put the cover there and put in a tuffy console with the stereo holder.

And a shot of the factory side panels with the soft top bows. Another thing that was fabbed up to make it work and look right.

Ever want a lockable storage place in your bronco? Use what sapce there already is...
