Product Details

This Cardone windshield wiper motor is part of the brand’s remanufactured wiper motor line, a product family that has been part of Cardone’s catalog since 1970. The remanufacturing process focuses on restoring OE-level operation by inspecting and rebuilding key internal components, then verifying final function before release.

This part cross-references Hyundai 987002E000 and Kia 987001F000 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Resolve

• Rear wiper motor does not run

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2005-2010 Kia Sportage, rear. Fits 2005-2009 Hyundai Tucson, rear. This unit uses a direct bolt mounting style and blade terminals. Package contents include the wiper motor and instruction sheet. If the vehicle uses a moisture-sensitive wiper system, confirm the correct control strategy before replacement. For park-position concerns, inspect crank arm alignment on the motor shaft and follow the vehicle-specific hidden park reset procedure when applicable. If the original system includes a washer pump interaction, bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before installation because a faulty washer pump can prevent motor operation on some vehicles.

Quality Assurance

Each unit is remanufactured to OE standards, with main components tested or gauged against original equipment specifications and the finished motor checked for proper function. Cardone’s remanufacturing process is built around restoring dependable operation while reducing waste through reuse of serviceable core materials.
