We can refurbish most wiper motors unless it's been fried. We can put your wiper motor back up to it's original functioning speeds. One of the main reasons for wiper motor failure is because of a brown out at idle. The wiper motors get burned up by operating at too low of voltage when the engine is idling ot just above idle. The cure is to install one of our high output alternators. See listing.

You must send us your wiper motor for refurbishing. We do not sell these motors outright. Please allow an extra week for us to repair your wiper motor  after we receive it from you. If you'd like a new grommet, just mention it to us and we'll include it for you to install.

The biggest cause for wiper motor failure is due to the brown out in the electrical system at idle on all z's with original factory alternators because they only produce 15 to 20 amps at idle on all alts from 70-83. Going to our high output alternator solves this problem completely. They have the potential to produce 50 to 60 amps at idle thereby eliminating the brown out effect. See listing. The second biggest cause of wiper motor failure is siezed wiper pivots. That is the part that sticks out through the windshield cowling and your wiper arm attaches to it. Whenever you repair or replace a wiper motor it's always adviseable to remove the linkage from the car, dismantle the 2 pivot points, clean them up good and coat them with synthetic grease. Then put them back together and install them back in the car. There is supposed to be a rubber boot on each one of the wiper pivots to keep water out of them. We carry those boots in stock. Make sure that yours are in good repair or order replacements from us. See listing in the weatherstripping or body gasket section.

If you would like us to refurbish your wiper linkage at the same time as we do your motor, then send it to us at the same time. Cost for that service is usually 45.00 as long as all the parts are still in good shape. Any busted or frozen bolts or screws do cost extra to service.
