    Windshield Wipers

    Probably been covered before, but I stopped after page four. The bushing/cam that actuates the wiper arms died on me. I can see the bushing/cam spinning, but the arms don't move; actually they move a little, but don't catch. Can I swap the whole unit or at least just the arms with an aero box wiper setup? In other words, are the '79-'91 wiper systems interchangeable?

    I don't think so......on aero's the wiper motor mounts from underneith, instead of on top like a box would.
    .....of course I could be wrong, but I would think it would all be backwards.

      So I guess they're only interchangeable from '79-'87? I guess I gotta do some fab work like I did with my old Malibu.

        I'm not sure......I just remembered that 87GTvic's car has a newer style wiper motor.
        You might want to ask him about it.

          Leave me out of this. lol My car had an 'upgraded' wiper motor installed in place of the two plugged stocker. I know nothing more or less.

            The motors should all fit the wiper box the same from 79-91. The plugs changed at some time though. You've got the older style motor that I believe doesn't exist after 1986. Rockauto lists a reman one for 52 bucks and gives the following for interchange:
