I replaced the vacuum wiper motor on my 1950 3100 1/2 t w electric years ago. However, is there a kit to install that helps to keep the linkage from popping loose? Has anyone else had problems keeping the them engaged? I have reconnected them several times but they always eventually pop loose. New clips too. I try not to use them anymore than absolutely necessary. They aren't that great anyway. Better replacements?

Ya, the best replacement is RainX.

Your problem is not unique. In this thread - with pictures - a zip tie is used to keep the rod in the grommet.
