I am needing my Vacuum wiper motor repaired and am looking for someone to repair it for me. Could I please get some recommendations from those who have had this service and were happy with the results. Thanks.

People are going to start thinking I get a commission from Kent!

Kent has rebuilt two wiper motors for me and they now work as good as any electric wiper. In fact I like them better than the electric unit on my sedan. The vacuum wipers make a lot less noise.

Here's another resource: http://www.wiperman.com

Also, often all that is needed to get them going again is to squirt some motor oil, MMO, etc., down the vacuum supply hose and then work the wipers back and forth by hand a few times to draw the oil into the motor and saturate the paddle. Just a thought.

Thanks for the quick reply. I will check them out as I'm ready to get it fixed so I can get my car inspected and back on the road.

In addition, recommend spraying some white lithium grease on the arm connections to the motor and wiper arms. I did this to mine and they perform like new.

Had mine done by the wiperman and it works great.
