Thanks for the insight John. I know it can be tricky getting the right combo of motor size, shaft length, # of degrees, and wiper blade length. That is why I was hoping that someone had done it before on the 42. I will take a look at that AFI motor and see how it looks. Worst case, I go to Seacure and see if I can get the old stock motors. I was hoping for an upgrade to autoparking motors though. We shall see I guess!
