Default 35 - Windshield Wiper Motor

Guys,

Rebuilding my Trico wiper motor and was wondering what type of grease to use on the flapper.

Also, the Repo flapper I got in the kit is made of two thin peices of rubber were as the original I took out was one solid piece of rubber and not in bad shape. I'm thinking about reusing the original. Any thoughts on reusing the original vs using the reproduction type?

Thanks much,

Peder

Ted,

You are right, the original is leather upon closer examination. Shall I reuse my original or go with the thinner rubber replacement type?

Anyone know what type of grease to use?

Thanks,

Peder
