Detailed Description

Cardone 85-1064 is a replacement windshield wiper motor for front applications on Cadillac CTS, Cadillac SRX, and Cadillac STS models listed below. It is engineered from Cardone’s long experience remanufacturing wiper motors and refined as a new part with design updates aimed at durability and consistent operation.
