I just realized I have to have a solid plan ahead of time because once I tack weld the graft I will close off some access up into these areas.

Was yours pretty straight forward?
I haven't been too concerned about that. I will use the Envoy if I can, but most likely will use a universal wiper that has been recommended by a couple of local builders. It is a cable system and takes very little space.
I was thinking the same as you are to start with, that I would have major problems. Even considered wipers above the windshield, but have been assured this aftermarket is the way to go. I have "Raingear" on my 48 GMC Panel that works very well, but it is too large for the space I have. I will get some pics of my space and find out the name of the system when I can.
