Zlost Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Greetings I took the wiper motor out of my 280z to cleanup the linkage and service the motor. The protective bag ripped on me in a few places plus it is so brittle it looks like it will far apart soon. I have searched (sorry if I missed it) and as we know there are several posts dealing with the motor but could not find anything on bag replacement options. I was thinking maybe an inter tube or even a hot water bottle? My buddy suggested a turkey cooking bag doubled up and sealed with hot glue, I know that sounds weird but might be a good option. Your suggestions are appreciated. Thanks, Zlost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceVance Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Use the old bag as a template and buy a cheap impulse sealer. Should be a fairly straightforward process to re-create the factory bag. Hard part will be finding matching plastic, if you want it to be a match for the OEM.

Zlost Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Thanks Tim, I am not concerned with OEM at this point, I just need something that will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evlevo Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I could have sworn i saw the other day a Z parts website that had these listed. Not sure if they had any in stock but check around. I even revisited the ones i normally check and couldn't find it. Maybe i'm goin' crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grannyknot Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 There is someone making new ones but I can't remember either but you could try these guys, https://www.zcarsource.com/wiper-motor-bag-240z-260z-280z_8_56821.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlost Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Thanks Grannyknot, I checked them out and it is 34 bucks for a used one shipped. If I wanted to stay OEM yeah it's ok deal but I don't and that's too much for a used one. I ordered a rubber water bottle that should be here Tuesday, I will upload a picture if it works.

grannyknot Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Great idea, just spray it black before you install the cowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlost Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 Water bottle did not work, too thick and not long enough, inner-tube is next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
