240znz Posted September 21, 2003 Share #1 Posted September 21, 2003 I suspect my wiper motor is shot. In the process of removing the wiper arm and motor, I found that the rubber boots that protect the wiper arm pivots are perished to the point of no return. Does anyone know if they are still available? Or what else shoudl I use to weather proof the pivots?The location of the boots is hard to explain. They are under where the wiper arms attach to (what ever that little axle is called). They stick up out of the airvent grill.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted September 21, 2003 Share #2 Posted September 21, 2003 Use the rubber boot that goes on a coil wire.You may have to trim it some but it'll work.That area is where it binds/rust.Make sure it moves freely.Make sure the linkage is reinstalled correctly by turning it on without the arms attached.I learned that as my arms shot across my newly painted hood:stupid: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
