Hi All,

Im just wondering if there is an aftermarket plastic sleeve that goes through the body that the large mounting nut holds the rubber down.
Im not sure what its called but I think the main wiper motor then pushes up through and bolts up to the body.
My body shop called me saying the nut is free spinning so I presume the plastic threads are cactus.
I did find a part number but unfortunately unavailable on its own any longer and a new complete wiper motor is over 500 bucks here.

 

Found in the past, sometimes there's old stock over in the US, despite officially being NLA, a s/h wiper motor locally, might be quicker though lately with freight backlogs.......if your panel beater is in the pre-Xmas rush. I suppose he'd be no stranger to the use of mastic either, main thing is to keep water out of the hatch and the 6mm bolts secure it in place, rather than that.

Might still have one here if it hasn't been tossed in a C-19 clean out, vaguely remember a black cylindrical cover might have been attached last time I saw it.

 

I have complete unit if you can't find a sleeve.
$50 + shipping

 

Luckily the panel beater is a mate who is a car enthusiast as well so he will consult with me before he goes to the goo it up solution and he also knows it's not a daily and not a rush.
If you don't mind having a quick poke about, that would be great. I'm only down here in Wollongong.

 

Thanks , It may get to the buying a used unit, how much to ship to Australia if your willing ?

 

$43 shipping sleeve only in small flat rate box
$94 shipping complete unit in medium flat rate box

Im chasing a couple of local items but failing that I will probably just grab the whole unit, so will let you know.
Appreciate the quick reply

 

If still chasing one locally, looks like landfill won after being in a box for 20 years!
