I have bought a lot of stuff from Rockauto and have Zero problem with the quality of their parts. All have been name brand. I have only had to return one part because it was "defective" and it turned out it was NOT defective the problem was something else. It was an alternator and most places won't take back electrical parts. The only other item I wanted to send back was a pair of rear brake drums that I didn't think would fit. They agreed to take them back. After getting their okay to return them I actually tried them and even though they look wrong they did fit. So Geeteeohh price was not a problem because all parts have been Name Brand.

Did you ever hear of WIA Global? Rockauto also sells that name brand; it cost $20 more but honestly it looks alot nicer than the cardone unit.

This is the first I ever heard of them.

Just a heads up. Cardone is a HUGE rebuilder. NAPA, AUTOZONE, ORIELY'S, ADVANCED AUTO PARTS, ROCK AUTO PARTS, all sell their stuff. Most of the work is done in Mexico. I have had mixed results. Unless you can find an NOS one somewhere, it's just going to be trial and error. Be sure to mount whatever you buy to the firewall and run it through all it's functions and park before putting the arms and blades on. Hook up the wiper transmission, run it to the park position. Then mark a couple splines for ID. Then when you test it you can make sure everything looks right before attaching the arms. Lots of trim and even paint can be damaged by rouge wiper arms and wiper transmissions overrunning glass or scratching paint. Good luck.
