Detailed Description

Cardone 43-4526 is a remanufactured windshield wiper motor engineered for front wiper systems on the Kia Sedona and Hyundai Entourage. The unit is rebuilt from an OE core and validated to match original performance expectations, making it a practical choice when the factory motor is slow, intermittent, noisy, or no longer parks correctly. The Cardone remanufactured wiper motor program has been part of the brand’s product line since 1970, with a focus on restoring OE function through testing, component renewal, and final verification.

This part cross-references Hyundai and Kia OE number 981104D000 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Wipers that stop in the middle of the windshield
• Wipers that do not park at the bottom of the glass
• Slow, weak, or inconsistent wiper movement
• Motor noise caused by worn internal bearings or gears
• Failure of the front windshield wiper motor to operate

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 2014 Kia Sedona, front; 2006-2012 Kia Sedona, front; 2009-2010 Hyundai Entourage, front; and 2007-2008 Hyundai Entourage, front.
• Package contents include the wiper motor and instruction sheet.
• Washer pump is not included.
• Some vehicles with moisture-sensitive wiper systems use a rain sensor mounted inside the windshield near the rearview mirror.
• If the motor parks incorrectly and the vehicle does not use hidden wiper blades, check crank arm position on the motor shaft before replacing the unit again.
• On certain systems, a defective washer pump can prevent motor operation; bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before installation.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured wiper motor is tested or gauged against OE standards, then checked again for proper function on the vehicle. Main wear items are renewed as needed, internal solder joints are reflowed, and the assembly is prepared to deliver dependable operation in daily use.
