Wiper motor rebuild

[markiemyster]

I usualy drive my family car to work but that was being serviced today so I had to drive the 65 coupe.
Ordinaraly that wouldn't be an issue but today they were calling for some rain,
Well we haven't had any rain in weeks and of course today we had probably 2-3".
I found out quickly on the way home that my wipers are not very good.
I guess my next project is either a new motor or a rebuild.

First off are they 2 speed wipers in a 65? mine only works on one of the positions. Also the washer doesn't spray at all.
I looked at LIC and Zip and couldn't see a rebuilt or new one for sale just the rebuild kit.
Anyone here ever rebuild the whole unit (wiper and washer) is it easy?
Or does anyone know where to buy one already rebuilt?

Thanks, Mark

That sounds like a very reasonable price.
You have me sold.
