Question What do i seal it with ?

A while back my wiper motor went out. Over the weekend I pulled it out (what a pain) and am ready to reinstall the new one but the parts store didn't have the seal that goes between the motor and cab. What the best thing to do? I'm thinkng of going to the dealer to get the seal but the existing one looks pretty good still, what are your thoughts. Thanks

if it is still good, i don't see why a little silicone, or permatex wouldn't work. get the stuff that stays pliable, not the hardening kind. should work great.

Just checked with the dealer and it's no longer avail. I guess I could order it from a vendor but then I'd have to wait, I think I'll try your suggestion.

Silicone should work well, but be careful if you don't want the seal permanently "Glued Down" with it. I've used waxed paper successfully to keep it from sticking to the wrong surface.
