11 meter international windshield wiper covers

Post by 11 meter »

As many of you have experienced, the plastic covers on the windshield wiper motors cover dry rots. Last year I soaked them in bleach to bring the white back but this year they are cracking when hit. Does anyone know of a replacement?

Bob at Beacon has a few direct replacements on his site. They are a little pricey, but that's because they are the actual originals. I ordered 3 for my 10 meter on amazon. If you search "AFI White MRV Wiper Motor Cover" on amazon, you will find the product i used. I had to drill 1 hole in them for the electrical connection. Other than that, they were a direct replacement.

Mine were old cracked and very fragile. Over the winter a used duct tape to re-shape everything, then I coated the entire cover with several layers of west epoxy. Letting the extra just drip off ( laid them on Dowels). After several coats, I removed the tape, lightly sanded, and cleanded up the edges, vents etc with a dremel. Painted them up, and now they are better than new.

I think I posted these steps somewhere on this site ill try to find it.
