Yes, I did search before posting.

My wiper motor shorts out when it rains or I run it through the car wash. I then have to dry it out with a blow dryer to keep it from blowing the fuse.

It all started when we had this ice storm a few weeks back that caused severe ice damming on my house. I can only assume the same happened with the seals on my uniwasher.


I inspected the windshield seal and it was coming up a bit. I resealed it with black silicone. Having had several older cars: W123s, w110, Type II VW, BMW 02, I am pretty handy with black silicone.

I see a seal online, but have no idea where to start or if it is even for the uni washer.
There is a rubber boot looking thing below the uni-washer housing, but it doesn't look like it is supposed to be weather proof. Here is the whole thing for reference. It is the black boot below the metal washer housing. If I were to silicone this I think I need to get the metal housing piece up.
