Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

I'm not sure where you are located, but I am in the US. I did a quick check and found several online. Have you done a search online? Also, the wiper motor is electric and most likely could be rebuilt. I have no technical on this vehicle because it isn't offered in the US. However, I've never seen a motor that couldn't be rebuilt.

Let me know,

Joe

Many thanks for quick reply. I am in Glasgow, Scotland and there are none to be had in UK.
I have found out there are several people in same boat. IE, can't get these replacements, two motors in C5, Will have to scrap if I don't find. Really sick of it. Thanks guys. Regards, Tommy

Welcome back:

Tommy, I checked on a very well known online auction site (ebay) and I found two. See if they will send them for you.

If you get me a part number, I will try to check here, too. Not a great chance of finding one, but it won't hurt to try.

Let me know,

Joe
