Wiper motor slowly died

Wouldn't it be just as easy to remove the two screws holding the brush cap on the motor and actually use the correct grease rather than deface and ruin a component for future use? But what do I know?

For you and I it would be easy. (I did exactly that with the one I have)
Somehow I just don't see a 1/32 hole and being sealed over as an issue.

Obviously you do. :D
