58-62 Windshield Wiper Motor Coordinator Rebuild Kit?

[Jill J.]

Hi there.

Does anyone know if there is a rebuild kit for a 58-62 windshield wiper coordinator that I can purchase to rebuild mine? If not, who would you recommend that I send mine to?

Thanks.

Ditto for Jay, very pleasant and through knowledge of Trico washer systems. In short, he is the best. Ed

Self rebuild can be done, but it is not easy and if one little item does not go back in the correct position, it will not work. In 2019, it took me 5 tries to make it work and I had "experience" rebuilding once before. Here are 3 keys to keeping the system working after professional rebuild, always use distilled water, always keep the reservoir full, and run the system once every 30 days. The longer it sits, the greater likelihood it won't work.

Those are the exact rules that Tom Maxwell cited to me in a phone call before he passed, about 8 years ago IIRC he charged me $80 to restore my 61 coordinator, money well spent IMO - prob a bit more now...

Thanks to everyone for their input. I received a very nice looking used coordinator in the mail today that I ordered on Sunday. I found another thread for bench testing the unit to see if the pressures are at an acceptable level before sending out for rebuild. Just curious to see if it works as good as it looks.

Bench testing a coordinator is a very simple process. All you need to do is suck on the tube if the rod extends it works and you are good to go.

Thanks Jay. I'll try that tomorrow after I get home from work.
