I have a 2004 Cooper and I really enjoy it but the front windshield wiper motor recently crapped out. The standard OEM part includes the linkage which I don't need and would increase labor costs to install. Many suppliers seem to have the motor in their catalog but when I order it I get a message from the supplier that they can't access it. Does anyone out there have a suggestion for a supplier? I have tried all of the standard ones with no luck. Most say that they carry a Cardone 43-2124 rebuilt but when pushed, they don't seem to have it. Any help would be appreciated. I use this car everyday and rainex won't work so well in Wisconsin in the winter.

 

got new ones and used ones in stock. You don't want to get it without the linkage cause trying to time it is a huge pain.

I would first make sure the grounding is not bad. its a common problem with the wipers. search and you will find instructions on how to ground tyhe wiper motor to the car ground near the fuse box in the engine compartment. You might find out you dont need a wiper motor after all.
