Detailed Description

Cardone 43-2028 is a remanufactured windshield wiper motor engineered for front wiper systems that require OE-style operation. It is built to restore consistent sweep speed, parking function, and overall wiper movement on vehicles such as the 2005-2013 Chevrolet Corvette, 2004-2009 Cadillac XLR, and 1998-2003 Toyota Sienna. This part cross-references Toyota 8511008010 for the same application.

The remanufacturing process includes inspection and testing of core components such as the armature, field, bearing, parking switch, or pulse board, followed by final vehicle-function testing. That process helps ensure the motor is ready for real-world use in front windshield wiper service.

What It Helps Fix

• Inoperative front windshield wipers
• Wipers that stop mid-windshield
• Poor parking position after motor replacement
• Intermittent or inconsistent wiper movement
• Noise or wear related to an aging wiper motor

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 2005-2013 Chevrolet Corvette, front; 2004-2009 Cadillac XLR, front; and 1998-2003 Toyota Sienna, front. This unit does not include a washer pump, and the fitment notes exclude washer pump compatibility. If the vehicle uses a moisture-sensitive wiper system, verify the rain sensor and control module operation before replacing the motor. For hidden-park systems, crank arm position may need to be adjusted so the blades park at the bottom of the windshield. If the motor does not operate after installation, bench test the wiper motor and washer pump together, since some systems will not run with a failed washer pump.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured wiper motor is re-engineered to match OE performance and tested against original equipment standards before release. The process includes component-level inspection, lubrication, magnet recharging, and solder reflow to support dependable operation in daily driving conditions.
