Product Details
Cardone’s remanufactured wiper motor line traces back to the company’s first product offering in 1970. This 43-20043 windshield wiper motor is re-engineered, built, and tested to deliver O.E.-style operation for the front windshield on the Toyota Prius V and Toyota Prius C. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part, making it an earth-conscious replacement choice.
Common Problems This Part Can Address
- Wipers stop working or move intermittently
- Wiper arms park in the wrong position
- Wipers stop in the middle of the windshield
- Slow or weak wiper sweep
- Noisy or inconsistent motor operation
Installation Notes
Verify the vehicle’s washer pump compatibility before installation, since some wiper systems will not operate correctly if the washer pump is defective. If the motor does not have hidden wiper blades, parking misalignment is often caused by crank arm position; adjust the crank arm angle on the motor shaft to restore proper park position. Refer to a vehicle-specific service manual for the hidden-park reset procedure when applicable.
Fits 2018 Toyota Prius V, front. Fits 2012-2017 Toyota Prius V, front. Fits 2012 Toyota Prius C, front.
