Guest 73TPIZ Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Thanks Mike for the link. Branden mentions the 96-00 Civic may be the same as the 94-97 Accord. Just so happens i recently bought a '00 Civic to fix my neice's '98 with. I'll have to check it out soon and see if it'll work. My '73 wipers need a helping hand lately to get going so it will be none too soon. thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synlubes Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Just a thought. . . The wiper pivots get stiff due to the little boots that cover them crack and they get some rust in them. I bought new pivots and they come with new boots. I took my old pivots out to replace them but ended up just taking the old ones apart and used some scotch bite pads to clean the shafts, put some light grease on them and put the new boots on. I never have used the new pivots, the old ones worked great. The wipers worked much faster than before and I never had any problems since. Of course if it is your motor that is causing your problem this won’t cure that issue. Its a couple hours work, it may be worth while to give it a go.

Cruez Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Anyone done this... It would be much better if the wipers stopped where they are supposed to ... Anyone figure that part out?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomoHawk Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Remember to coat the insides of the wiper pivot boots & pivots liberally with grease before putting the boots on. That's what those rubber boots are for. Waterproof bearing grease would be best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naviathan Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Is it just me or is this "upgrade" just not worth it if the wipers don't return to the "home" position on their own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomoHawk Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I noticedthat the rubber boots go bad(dry out) after only a few months... Is that right? Maybe they should be made of silicone stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teekass Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Anyone done this... Is it just me or is this "upgrade" just not worth it if the wipers don't return to the "home" position on their own? I did the Honda Accord wiper motor upgrade ($30.00 on eBay) about 6 months ago, and am very pleased. On high, they make 60 wiper blade cycles per minute (from the down position, all the way across, and back down again). I didn't time them before the upgrade, but I would guess they made about 20 cycles per minute. As far as not parking themselves, TO ME it's really not that big of a deal (my car isn't a daily driver though). I turn them on low, then turn them off when they're down. It's not hard at all to "catch" them in the park position. I would say....maybe one out of ten times do I miss it on the first try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
