Front Wiper Motor for Classic GM Applications

The WAI WPM168 front wiper motor is a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of classic Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac vehicles. Built as a 100% new unit and tested to OE specifications for form, fit, and function, it is made for drivers restoring reliable windshield wiping performance on older front-wiper systems.

For applications such as the Chevrolet Caprice, Pontiac Firebird, and Cadillac DeVille, this WPM168 replacement helps restore consistent wiper movement and dependable operation in wet-weather driving.

Detailed Product Overview

The WAI WPM168 is engineered for front windshield wiper service on many GM rear-wheel-drive and A-body/F-body platforms from the mid-1970s through the early 1990s. It is a practical replacement for aging motors in vehicles that rely on a front wiper motor only setup, including the Buick LeSabre, Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, and Pontiac Grand Prix. The part number WPM168 is also useful when cross-referencing OE-style replacements for the same application.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What This Part Helps Fix

  • Intermittent or non-working front wipers
  • Slow or weak wiper movement
  • Wipers that stop mid-sweep
  • Noise or binding from a worn motor
  • Restoration needs on older Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and mounting-hole layout before installation. This WPM168 unit is for front wiper motor use only and does not include a washer pump. Confirm vehicle-specific fitment for the exact year, make, and model, especially on classic GM platforms where wiring and linkage configurations can vary.

Compatible With 1975-1990 Chevrolet Caprice, front; 1978-1983 Chevrolet Camaro, front; 1975-1985 Cadillac DeVille, front; 1975-1983 Pontiac Grand Prix, front; and other listed front applications.

Quality Assurance

WAI manufactures this wiper motor as a 100% new replacement part and tests it to OE specifications for fit and function. The precision-engineered design uses high-grade materials to support consistent performance and longer service life. Part number WPM168 is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
