Re: GTS windshield wiper

I also have a single blower motor on the inside to clear the fog. It works great and I have tested it a couple of times. The wiper scratches the lexan so I try to use rain-x and limit the wiper use to only when I need it. So it was off and on during the races......the motor that I have is plenty strong....

the factory Panoz wiper motor is an old pinto wiper motor and a rear window motor off the ford mini van.....here are my notes for it....

Windshield wiper motor – F78Z*17V508*ABRM $67.47 with a $30 core return…I was told this is a old pinto part number and a windstar rear window wiper. That comes as a big assembly and costs $200 so don’t let them sell you that. It is sold as a motor only. I had to cut the old connector off and reuse it on the new motor. I also had to drill out and tap 2 cast aluminum sleeves on the housing. It was easy.
