wiper pivot seals

The kit I got from Schaumacher had a stiff foam donut for the seal at the serated knob. The instructions were to lube it up and stretch it over the knob, no mention of removing the knob, plus I have never heard of anyone doing that to fix them. When you re-install the pivot assemble this foam donut is compressed up against the bottom of the oter cowl vent sheet metal.

The end that bolts to the cowl was also a die cut foam gasket. I used some silicone on it.

The other thing to check is to make sure the drains on either side of the cowl behind the fenders are not plugged. I fished a wire in from by the hood hinges to clean out mine.

I still get some water into the car during heavy rain. I think it's coming in around where the heater box connects to the cowl and the vent box on the drivers side.
