LOL
why are you looking at installing an aftermarket one? I replaced mine with one from a wrecker coz my original one's bearings died in the arse and it made the worste grinding noise every time you hadda put em on. Real pain in the arse on those rainy days!

ive found that some gemini wiper motors are faster then some others, i think putting an aftermarket one in would be a complete, utter, waste of time and money.

or just take one wiper off and adjust the other to
wipe the screen i think the single wiper conversion is a bit of a joke because when it rains the single wiper moves
alot slower than 2 wipers do
lol at wank factor of swc

Not that I want to stop the fun of paying me out for a rice mod I had no intention of doing (I also had a friend who got defected for a single wiper on his ... excel), but I'll tell you what's going on. The wiper motor that came with my car was stupidly slow, so I replaced it with the wiper motor out of my TG (which included re-wiring the connectors). It worked great and wiped really fast for a good half a day before there was a short inside the motor and some of my wires caught fire (what am I, an auto electrician?).

So anyways, I figured if I could just buy one from a shop it's wipe good and fast, and it would be new which might make it more reliable then one that's older then I am.
