Trans Sport Part Numbers Needed!

I have been having a hard time tracking down the following parts, so if someone can provide a part number from a service manual or can point me to someone who has them let me know!

1. Plastic nut and rubber seal that mounts the rear wiper motor to the rear window. Checked dealers, parts places, you name it. Nothing yet.

2. The plastic latch parts for the rear door/panel covering the power outlet and air compressor fitting and power switch. It's a lever that you pull out to release it, mine is missing the lever and associated parts, previous owner removed them when they broke i guess.

I have been checking local parts yards for some time now. Unfortunately none of them have any of these vans in stock, or they do and these parts are already gone, stripped, lost, etc.

Maybe checking your previous posts could provide that info......but for helping everyone to help, what year is this?

1997

I have been searching on here today and i can't find any info on these parts.

1. To clarify, are you referring to the parts that mount the wiper motor itself in the rear hatch, or are you referring to the parts that mount the wiper arm to the motor?
2. The cover/latch assembly part numbers vary by color and trim level of vehicle. If you can get me the last 8 digits of your vin (preferrably in a PM, as it's not advisable to post personal info on an open forum), I can get the part numbers for you.
.

Yes, the large black plastic nut and the rubber parts that hold the output shaft of the motor to the rear glass.

And i will send a PM on the other parts. I was expecting that, being that interior color is a factor.

In the above picture i need...

5
7
8
9

I found the picture on GM parts direct, but none of those numbers are listed as available, to find this picture you have to search for the wiper motor.

5 is the cap over the nut that holds the wiper arm on the output shaft, no biggie if you can't find it.

7 is the big plastic nut.

8 is the rubber gasket under that plastic nut.

9 is the rubber piece that centers the shaft and seals it to the inside of the glass.

Darn no update?

Well i will just hope that you are still looking for those numbers!

I answered the cover part number in your PM, but here it is for anyone else reading this thread.
10273148 (gray)
Here's the rest of your part numbers also according to the pic you posted.
5. 10401536
6. 03535261 (just for reference)
7. 22101215
8. 22154523
9. 22138378

AWESOME!!

Thanks so very much for the help, armed with part numbers now i can get something done about it!

I had replied to the PM before reading your post here... You answered it all now.

Now to go order some parts, i will post back and let everyone know how much they cost me, etc.

One last question while i have your attention, since you seem to be able to find these numbers easier than most...

The wife just slapped me across the back of the head and said...

Find that damn knob for the passenger side seat..

Let me explain, there is the big knob on the side of the seat that adjusts the lumbar support, somehow the one on the passenger side seat fell off and got lost. So know i have to pull the one off the drivers side seat and walk around to adjust that seat, etc.

The dealer did have a diagram showing the seat, and it showed the knob, but for some reason the number he had wouldn't come up in the system, so if you can find a part number let me know and i will see if its the same he has. The ones you gave me for the wiper motor parts are different than some i had scribbled down the last time i got a dealer to even look them up in a book, and these work!

Well i finally got the parts today, nobody had them in stock and they all had to be special ordered..

Here is the results..

On that diagram part numbers 7 and 8 were correct, well sorta, and 9 is not even close.

Part 7 is the large plastic nut that goes on the output shaft of the wiper motor, that is correct, thank god since i can't do anything without it.

Part 8 is the correct shape and size but is a hard plastic piece, the old one was a rubber piece that seals the large nut, number 7, to the rear window. So now i have to make gaskets or get some rubber washers if i can find them that big, no idea what i will do yet.

Part 9, or the number you found actually, is some rubber hole plug, not a clue what i might be for, i haven't seen one like this on the vehicle anywhere.

So, i have to see if any of the old parts can be cleaned up and re-used, maybe with a healthy coating of silicone to seal them. The rear access panel was perfect and right on the money though!

I also ordered part 5, its different than the picture, its the cover that is supposed to attache to the wiper arm and swing up for access to the nut, not sure if i can make that work yet, i have to get the wiper arm out of the van and look it over tonight.

That's odd, as those are the part numbers I show for a 97-99 Trans-Sport. #9's description is "rear window wiper pivot shaft seal".
#8's description is "rear window wiper motor spacer"

I got the wiper motor replaced yesterday, the spacer #8 is correct, i thought the one on the van was rubber, but its more of a hard composite, the new one is just a plastic shell thats open on the back side. There was a rubber gasket lightly glued to the back of the old one, so i carefully removed that seal, its just a big rubber washer about 1/8" thick, and put that on the new piece with a couple dabs of black silicone to hold it in place until everything was tightened up.

Part #9 is a rubber plug, it has a shoulder on the bottom and a bit of a lip with the space between the exact thickness of the rear glass and a flat top, if i get a chance i will take a picture and post it. I do know what its for now, or at least i think i do, with the wiper motor removed that part is a perfect fit for the hole in the glass. Perhaps it was used if you didn't have the rear wiper? I thought they all came with the rear wiper, but if it was an option perhaps this is the hole plug they used when it didn't come with one.

Anyway, no biggie, i got the parts i really needed, the plastic nut was stripped out, and the rear access panel doesn't take a screwdriver to open anymore! :grinyes:

Oh, and the cap for the nut on the wiper arm worked also, it clips onto the wiper arm and then hinges down and snaps on over the nut. Now the service manual description for removing the rear wiper arm makes sense, because it showed how to remove that cap to get to the nut, but on mine the nut was exposed.

Another side note, if anyone does one of these and needs a new nut it's an 8mm x 1.25 thread. I couldn't find one at any hardware store, and the local auto parts store knew what i needed but didn't have one. I did finally find someone with them in stock, the local John Deere dealership had them in just about any style you want, with a shoulder, a nylock nut, a regular nut, and one with a shoulder that has the ridges on it to act as a lockwasher, forget what they call those. They also had the correct die to run over the threads on the motor output shaft to clean up the threads a bit, the remanufactured motor i got, Cardone brand, looked like it was whacked with a hammer and the first thread was buggered up, and the whole unit had such a heavy coat of black paint on it that the die was needed to get the nut to fit again. I also needed to use the dremel tool with a wire wheel to clean out the threads for the plastic nut, they had WAY to much paint built up in them, the nut wouldn't go on.

But its all fixed now, finally!

Thanks for the clarification, and it's nice to hear you got her done.
