I bought the wiper motor on Ebay for $40 ,I think, brand new for a 05 buick. Cut the 05 bell crank and welded it to the original bell crank. Then I took apart a GM multi function switch that I removed from a customers car that had a problem in the turn signal circuit. I removed the housing from the original wiper switch and attached it to the wiper switch section of the multi function switch, and then modified the shaft so I can use a 1/4 inch billet knob. Doesn't look the best from the back of the dash, but looks stock from the front and works great. Very cheap wiper upgrade!

      I do believe I was the 1st to do it? I came up with it by neccessity back farther than I can remember and have been happy with it. I think I remember messaging a few times about it with you.I was originally going to use an escort motor but by the time I got around to modifying the switch I was working on and the fact that if it ever went bad I would be cussing myself I decided to go mainstream with the DSE setup in case I ever sold the car. The next time it is just a call and it is easy peizy not sleazy.

      My old arm was so eaasy to mod it only took about an hour and it was done.

      I am glad to see it worked out so well for you, it makes me proud to see I came up with a good idea that can be done cheap and easy or mainstream and a guy can do it himself. It definately makes it just as easy as anything else to work on.

      Thanks again
