So i replaced my seized wiper linkage today, and immediately the motor spline started slipping. The small link between the motor and the main linkage is not included in the Mazda factory linkage, and also isn't included in the reman motors. It does not have a part number form mazda. Anyone have this issue or solutions? Would thread-locker work?

 

Threadlocker might work, if not, though, could get some Loctite 638 Retaining Compound, pretty stout stuff. Need around 500 degrees Fahrenheit to break it down, though.

 

Or just drop in a replacement/used motor assy? easy swap.
