Not that I recall but there is a gasket listed so maybe rubber -- and it is tight in the shroud. I can't remember how close the tube over steering shaft is to the wiper assy. It may be so close that the tube is preventing movement. Possibly you will have to remove the clamps at dash edge so the shroud can tilt or shift over slightly. There may also be some tape around the assy to protect the turn signal wires from being caught when pulled thru.

If I recall correctly, if the wiper assy does come out even with clearance It can be a royal pain to get the assy rotated and positioned to get the shaft back in the hole. IMO, not one of Packards finest thoughts.
