Yeah, but the "transmission" that is supposed to be on the shaft from the wiper motor that actually contacts the part you point to is NOT THERE. I looked it up a little more online, it looks like somebody actually removed the transmission and put a different linkage in it's place. I'm going to order the new part, I left the cowl cover and wiper assembly off the car, I'll get it all put back together this week.

Oh..I thought you removed it. So they must have never stopped correctly?

I didn't remove it, they would always pause at the top of the windshield, then the motor would reverse from the direction it normally turned and turn about 180* to stop at the bottom of the windshield when turning them off. I'm ordering the "wiper transmission" online later today, I'm not spending $60 on a part I can get for $40 online. I may even check out the local junkyards for it, I'm sure I could land a deal there, if any of them have a similar car.

That tab you mentioned was bent, I did straighten it out, but with that linkage thingy on the motor missing, it doesn't do any good at all. lol

Im guessing the p/o removed it thinkin it was bad. When all they had to do was bend that tab back...lol
