Well, I can't say my solution is an easy one. However, with the dash
removed, you can get to the wiper access panels behind the dash and under
the air plenum. Once the panels are pulled off, you can grab the cable and
jockey it out from side to side. Again, this entails removing the dash,
however, I believe it might be the solution.

Subject: Wiper Cable
Fellow Listers:
I turn once more for assistance. My wipers on my 1975 TR6 stopped working.
I took the motor and drive out and in doing so only about six inches of the
cable which rides inside the tube came with it. I assume it is broken and
this is why my wipers do not move. The problem is I am now left with the
balance of the cable left inside the tube and no way to extract it. A
magnet does not do the trick. I have tried approaching it through the wiper
housing on top of the cowl..no luck. My manual shows that the tube runs the
full width of the dash. Is it possible to extract this tube, cable and all
easily. I need your help and suggestions. Many thanks...again...
