need a wiper repair kit
Hello to all of you! Ive got the wiper motor blues. Tried the MM oil remedy which may have helped a bit but i think i need a motor overhaul. Can't seem to find a complete kit for rebuilding the 52 vic wiper motor. I did a search on the Barn site but most of the threads were several years old. Do any of you have some thoughts or suggestions where i might be able to get a complete repair kit?

Re: need a wiper repair kit
I've never seen a repair kit offered by any source. Certainly, there are a few rebuilders around - including wiper man who runs hot and cold with others. Perhaps we'll both be pleasantly surprised to learn something new with this thread. Fingers crossed.

Re: need a wiper repair kit
Seems like I remember several threads on the HAMB on reworking wipers. Here is a little bit from the Barn:

Re: need a wiper repair kit
A fella on e bay sells kits and wiper motors n such. Ronmonte
Ask questions to make sure the kit applies to what u need. It has been said on here in the past some things may be advertised incorrectly. I personally have never had an issue. |

Re: need a wiper repair kit
Sorry but the stock vacuum wipers are marginal at best - leave what you have now alone and use RainX. Water just flows off the windshield when standing or moving. I have been in hard driving rainstorms and it works great. Even daily drivers stop and wait but I just keep on rolling. Hell - my avatar doesn’t even have wipers!
Try it - you will not use your old vacuum wipers ever again. |

Re: need a wiper repair kit
Thank you for all your suggestions. TomT, the rainx sounds like a simple fix? Now if I can just keep my hands out of my toolbox?

Re: need a wiper repair kit
Wipe it in and leave it alone is what I do. Use the straight RainX and not the spray that is also a glass cleaner - lasts longer. Motorcyclists use this on their helmet shields, planes use it, and it works on glass, lexan, clear plastic, side curtains. Clean surfaces first with Windex ...... not a temporary fix but a solution to your problem. Both my avatar and my newly finished 32 5-window coupe as well as my old 40 Standard coupe used it.

Re: need a wiper repair kit
RainX also makes the bugs come off easier when cleaning the windshield.
