Default Willcox New Wiper Motor Testing Video

Thought you guys might want to look at this! This might help people know if their wiper motor is the problem or if the problem is the car.

Not a problem.

We've been doing a few of these and they seem to answer questions faster and more efficiently than a typed response.

This is great. I have a rebuilt wiper motor for my '65 sitting on the bench. I've been wanting to make sure its tested and in the park position before reinstalling.

The drummer? I think that is just something the U-tube site puts at the bottom.... you and I both know I can't play the drums....

Ernie, you could take lessons from Jerry MacNeish - he's the drummer for Jimmy Gilmer and the Fireballs on their comeback tour when he isn't building Z/28 engines, doing Heli-Arc miracles on aluminum, restoring Holleys, or tearing up the 1/4-mile.

Great stuff, thanks. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video has to be worth a million!!!

Thank you,

We have a ton of these on the schedule.. and if anyone would like to suggest some I'd be happy to consider them... I've considered the soft top installation.. but that one would require me to do editing.. (see below)..

This one was done so that a forum member could test his motor to see if it worked and in a hurry... I'm not sure if taking our time would have been any better since I don't like the editing program... we just shoot from the hip anyway. Seems to work out.
