    I may be overlooking it but I will ask anyway, I need a new or rebuilt wiper motor for my 65.  Is it the same as anything else? Is there a multi speed version?  Any leads appreciated Thanks Jerry

    I think the SportVans might have 2 speed motors,,,,,,,I put a wiper delay switch in mine so I can slow down my 1 fast speed in case it ever rains down here,,,,,,,

    I called our Where House this morning and they said they are available at.................. Car Quest Auto Parts. There are 2 different ones they are both 2 speed motors... IF you have the three terminal one the part# is 40-154 it is $134.48 lifetime warr.... IF it has 4 terminals it is part# 40-155 it is $150.39 also with a lifetime warr..A bit pricey but it will end your search and you will never have to pay for another one for your Van again.!!!.They have quite a few parts for our Vans..... Wheel cylinders,brake hoses,master cylinders,bearings,signal switch,blower motor resistors,voltage regulators,blower motors,dash bulbs, switches,Smile ..

    Hey Guys, Thank you much for the input.  I am taking out a single speed. I would like to install the 2 speed replacement. I am guessing that the only difference is the extra wire and a two speed switch to match. Anybody know if I will encounter any other obstacles?   Thanks Jerry

    Tho I rebuilt mine--just cleaning and new grease I have yet to install the wiper blades. Just clean and coat my windshield with Rain X. Of course, I only drive about once a week on Sunday's but so far so good. Actually, because the Rain X works so well my only real concern is the cops.

    The main thing is Rain X AND wipers don't mix. Takes some getting used to tho. Also, I use Fog-X on the inside as my defroster is a goner too. Not recommending just saying it's been working for me. And I'm not a spokeperson for those products.

    Rain X is the BEST Product for either problem.!!!. I have used it for years but the alcohol in it will dry out the rubber on your wiper blades and ruin them in a short amount of time......SO if you use rain X don't use your wipers. Smile ....

    RainX is great. I haven't even installed my wiper arms in the 3 years since I put in a rebuilt motor to avoid the temptation of ruining my wiper blades. Have to keep it applied in tiny circles with soft cloth tho. Also, it takes a little rain to start sheeting off so the first few minutes of rain is unnerving.

    Glad to hear CarQuest has so many of our parts. I stopped going there because the prices are crazy high and they won't give me "extensions" unless I have an account per an Occupational License. However, $150 for a new, 2 speed, harnessed motor doesn't seem too bad. Car Quest tried to charge me $26 for a standard v-belt for my Mercedes that turned out to be $6 for the same maker at a big box store. I really don't mind paying twice as muc for convenience but almost 5X as much is just insulting.
