Try disconnecting the linkage from the motor bellcrank to see how stiffly it operates - it should move easily by hand, and if it doesn't the pivots are probably the problem. It's been a long time since I've seen a Thing wiper motor, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was the same as a Beetle one other than the bellcrank - which is easy to interchange. If your wiper switch is on the dash you'd need a pre-`72 motor (they changed the wiring of the park circuit when they moved the wiper switch to the column on the `72 Beetles/Supers).

Pretty much every Thing we've ever had or seenhad wipers as slow as molasses in January (come to think of it, thewiper speed in my old Bug and Campmobile weren't any great shakeseither). And with Thing wiper motors running from $275 to $395(reconditioned), I'm not in a real hurry to buy another one. -- VW SignatureRobin ____________________________________________________________________________________ The fish are biting.
