Default has anyone come up with a alter location for the wiper motor?

after doing a wire tuck, has anyone come up with a better or alternative location for windows wiper motor? I was thinking of maybe using the motor unit from a 92-95 civic.

it would be the yellow bottle. rainx makes anti fog and other stuff. i bought my yellow spray bottle that repels rain, snow, and sleet. they also sell in smaller bottles.

It would take a lot of fab work.
Try examining how the wipers operate - the motor spins over and moves a rod back and forth to actuate the wipers.
You can certainly flip the motor and install it from behind the dash, but you will have to make sure that it mounts up the wiper rod exactly the same... that's where the fab work comes in.

so for everyone taking the motor out and using rain-x, what do you do when you have to get your car inspected?
