Re: Windshield Wiper Motor Victory!

I did my Trico but I'm having a problem with the seal on the top. I carefully removed and reused the gasket, but I'm getting some blowby when I turn the arm. When I hooked it up to the motor while running, the wiper motor didn't work. I'm debating using some Permatex non hardening on it when I disassemble it.

Also, don't drop the unit - it's like dropping buttered toast, except that toast doesn't have pot metal ears. yup, I broke one off. I'll try some epoxy on it, failing that I guess I'll have to root thru the old car junkyard and see if I can find a similar one on a Ford or Chevy. Anyone have any ideas on what other manufacturers used this Trico model?
