Hi Andy, I want to upgrade wipers from one speed to two speed on a ’64 bug. Will a ’67 two speed motor and two speed switch work?

Hi Daniel,

Yes, you can do this! The wiper motors have the exact mounting locations into the cradle. Please keep in mind, you cannot swap the mounting cradle due the differences, but the motors will interchange. That being said, you must use a 1967 two speed motor. The 1968-1969 motor looks the same, but the pin that attached to the drive arms is larger on the later motor and will not work correctly on the earlier cars.

Lastly, finding 1967 wiper motor cores to rebuild is becoming a big problem! It is to be expected now 50 years later on a one-year-only part! Please know that we sell a rebuilt 1967 motor (see below) but it is dependent on us being able to find cores. If you know of any year core wiper motors for sale we are always looking to buy them!

Thanks,

Andy
