Electric Wiper motor - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mobileortho · 08-30-2014, 05:29 PM

I bought the Newport electric wiper motor some years back but it's never functioned as I think it should. The main issue is slack in the output shaft that prevents a full sweep or fully return to the park position. Is there any way to adjust to take out the slop? There's a set screw on top but I've played with it a bit without success.

My truck had a Newport in it when I bought it. I didn't like it so I took it out and installed the Raingear system. It's a lot better quality.

Link to said system? I need to put a motor in my 57. The factory electric motor works but is missing pieces and I want to replace it with something better

Well, I found a rear Blazer unit for $20, mounted it to the Newport bracket, problem solved.

Thanks for posting that up.looks like a pretty nice system! One of these days I'll get around to ordering and installing it. My apologies for not responding to this sooner, I've not been on this side of the board in a week or two, been focusing on my Cheyenne.

Here in Texas they test the wipers during the required annual inspect. They have to work.
