🔧 Dorman 602-509 Windshield Wiper Transmission Assembly: Durable and Efficient Solution Review

Looks well made. This will not work if your VIN starts with the letter "J". These Hondas are made in Japan and have a smaller bore than the wiper rod that goes to the wiper motor.

the price was right but either I ordered the wrong thing or it doesn't fit exactly. I had to modify the wiper motor connector as the hole was too big for the tapered wiper motor shaft.

A local "kidnapper" charged over $400 to fix the wobbly wipers on my wife's 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid.

I also took the time to anoint all the fasteners with anti-seize paste and replaced a few zip ties that were brittle and torn.

I bought this for my 2003 Honda Civic LX. The wipers hit the A-pillar and underbody when I use the wipers in the pouring rain. This is because of the white plastic caps at the end of each stirrup link; they just break down over time. I doubt I received a defective product. All of the Dorman 602-509 images that I see have this problem. The bracket that is attached to the rotating part of the wiper motor is different from the original. The OEM hole is smaller and has grooves on the inside of the…
