Reproduction Type 181 Thing 1973-1974 windshield wiper shaft. Prevent your wiper motor from burning up by replacing the frozen Wiper Pivot Shaft on your Volkswagen Thing.
Most wiper pivot shafts fail due to age, seal damage and lack of lubrication. Factory specs recommends lubrication every 90 days.
Tech Tip: Wiper shaft lubrication is accomplished by removing the wiper arm, gently removing the plastic seal, and applying a few drops of oil where the shaft protrudes from the brass barrel. Switching on the wiper motor with the arms still removed, and applying a few more drops will ensure full and proper oil penetration.
