I recently bought a rebuilt wiper unit from Bert's. It works excellent and was very reasonable. Also you don't have to exchange your old one. they do have a limited supply so check ahead. I think they had 4 when I called about a month ago.

Rebuilt the wiper with the kit this weekend with my father-in-law and it works fine. The motor may be a bit on the weak side because the wiper blade sometimes doesn't like to go back and forth on a dry windshield, but when it is wet it goes back and forth with no issues. All in all we were happy with the end results.

you need to look at patent date on the wiper need one with date late thirties to early forties . those before that are most likely no good. email flickens he can explain in greater detail.
