Default 2 questions

1) I've seen where a number of people have used a "hatchback" windshield wiper in place of the vacuum wiper. Does anyone know which model hatchback will work?

2) what are the panels called (and possibly a link to replacements) that are in front of your feet that insulate and cover the firewall on the cab side? They are a blackish cardboard material with some insulation on the back in my 39 1 ton.


Thanks in advance.

Brad

What you are asking for is a firewall insulator. In regards to the wiper look at the small Honda SUVs or other small SUVs made in Japan.

Thanks TJ. A lot easier to find what you're looking for when you know the name

That is the wiper in the rear hatchback door, not for the front windscreen

Yes, that I was aware of. Just looking for specifics before I go to the salvage yard if anyone had them, ie, 2001 CR-V etc.
