XJ Rear Window Wiper (Rebuild, Repair or Writeup)

[Taggdog]

I've searched and can not find a writeup for the repair and/or rebuild of the Rear Window wiper motor and drive shaft for the 1997-2001 XJ unit. If anyone has done this and has been able to repair this wiper motor, please help out. If there is a link available to another thread please post it. Thanks.

Mine started sticking at half rotation a few months ago. I took it out with the intention of just replacing it, then I saw the price and figured I should probably try and get it going. I don't think I provided a forever fix, but the shaft was pretty rough and it was binding. I cleaned it up and lubed it, and it seems to work fine now. The true test will be when there is 4 pounds of snow on it this winter.

No writeup because I was just winging it and didn't remember exactly what I did. The motor did not appear to be designed to be serviceable internally, but I'm not totally sure.
