Window Wiper Parts

Types of Replacement Wiper Parts

Wiper motors and linkages drive the sweep. A motor that runs audibly but moves nothing is usually a failed linkage or a stripped output spline rather than a dead motor, and that is worth checking before ordering, because the two repairs are priced very differently.

Arms and blades wear as a pair. Blade length follows the curvature and size of the glass rather than any standard, so order by the OEM number for the machine rather than by measuring an old blade that may itself be the wrong one. Washer components cover pumps, couplers, and tanks. The coupler is small and inexpensive and is the usual reason a washer pump can be heard running while nothing reaches the glass.

Running a wiper on dry, dusty glass destroys the blade edge in minutes and puts fine scratches into the glass that never come out. A working washer system is what protects both.
