Product Details

Cardone’s Windshield Wiper Motor line focuses on remanufactured OE replacement parts that are rebuilt to restore factory function. Each unit is tested through key internal components and then verified in final vehicle-function testing, helping ensure consistent operation across the front wiper system. For Mercedes-Benz E320, CLK320, and related applications, this approach supports a precise replacement when the original motor has worn bearings, weak electrical connections, or reduced output.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Solve

• Wipers stop moving or fail to sweep the windshield
• Intermittent or slow front wiper operation
• Wipers park in the wrong position
• Noise from worn motor bearings or internal wear
• Electrical failure caused by damaged solder points or weakened motor components

Installation Notes and Tips

Before replacing the motor, verify the washer pump condition on vehicles where washer pump operation affects wiper function. If the wipers stop in the middle of the windshield, inspect the crank arm position and hidden-park reset procedure for the vehicle. This part uses a direct bolt mount and blade terminals, so confirm connector style and mounting layout against the original unit before installation.
