klhansen, I’ve been researching the rebuild and I too am seeing that the paddle switch/seal is problematic and also that a complete kit appears to not be available. My wiper works “OK” as I mentioned earlier, except the vacuum leak at the paddle switch when “OFF” is the only problem. I would submit that anyone still using the vacuum wiper motor might want to test for a vacuum leak at that interface. I’ve got a “work-around” in mind if I can’t correct that vacuum leak….or consider the Fiken option.
