Wiper reversal?

Can someone provide the site or information to reverse the wipers on my 87 Targa? I mis-placed my 101 projects book, dont remember if this project was in there. Thanks

Someone recently posted about doing this through the dash by removing the speedo and clock. They indicated it was a 20 minute deal. This would be a lot easier than the removal of the ducting under the bonnet.

I have not done this mod yet but I've got it on my mind.....

Yup, when I did mine, I found out purely by accident that you could access the necessary nut by pulling the gauges. I had the speedo and tach out and noticed how easy it would be to reverse the armature on the motor. Though since I've done it a few people have said there's a fiber board in the way so perhaps different years or options have an impact. But I truly did it in just 20 minutes.
