They may be selling the non-hidden wiper assembly.

Frank's may be a good source here.

Yeah didn't think about Frank's, thank you, will keep that in mind.

The one I ordered arrives today, will see how that looks.

Ok here's the pics of the wiper trans I ordered from Summit.

It's the Restoparts/OPG C240575:

During my search I found Jegs had one branded, not sure it's the same, but the pics are identical to the pics for the Restoparts/OPG one:

And, it's half the price of the Summit listing. (Uhg).

Anyway, Looking at the construction, there's really only one concern, the way the cap the wiper arm mounts on does not seem as sturdy as the original.

Not sure that's a problem, and to note, the one I removed had the cap spin freely, so...

Another note: The mount for the wiper arm didn't have the locating spline. But it's pretty straight forward mounting them, just take care on placement.

I chased the threads in the new one and it mounted fine. It appears to operate normally, and cycled it numerous times.

My take: It works. But believe the OE ones are of better quality. No surprise.

I may actually buy an OER one once they are back in stock to have a spare, and will comment on this thread for comparison.

The locating spline is only on the driver's side mount, here's a pic.

The driver's side only mounts one way, the cowl has a cutout for the 2nd post.



EDIT: And no, you can't really redo the stamping to tighten the post, the base is pot metal and it would break.

I did check Frank's before I ordered, and they didn't have any in stock.

This one did in fact come with the recess wiper pin.
