Product Details

Cardone builds this wiper motor using experience gained from remanufacturing and reverse engineering automotive wiper systems. The brand line focuses on improving the original design rather than simply duplicating it, with attention to gear durability, torque output, and consistent motor operation. Part number 85-4533 is intended for rear windshield wiper service on select Hyundai and Kia vehicles, including the Tucson and Sportage.

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

What It Helps Fix

• Rear wiper motor failure or no movement
• Slow, weak, or intermittent rear wiper operation
• Wiper blades stopping in the wrong park position
• Noise caused by worn internal motor gears
• Performance loss from weather-related motor wear

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle uses a rear wiper motor with a blade terminal connection and direct bolt mounting before installation. The package includes the wiper motor and instruction manual; the washer pump is not included. If the wipers stop mid-sweep or park incorrectly, inspect the crank arm position and the wiper transmission linkage during diagnosis. For moisture-sensitive systems, confirm the rain sensor and control module operation before replacing the motor.

For 2005-2009 Hyundai Tucson, rear, and 2005-2010 Kia Sportage, rear, bench test the motor and washer pump before installation if the original system showed electrical faults. If the vehicle uses a hidden park setup, follow the service manual reset procedure after installation.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone new wiper motor is load tested before release and assembled with the correct lubricant amount to support quiet operation and long-term durability. The upgraded gear material is designed to resist premature wear and breakage in demanding conditions.
