The world's least used wiper motor needs replaced in the '93.
I figured last Saturday to go to the local parts chain and pick one up. Luckily I called beforehand. It seems they didn't have one.
I asked if any of their other locations in town would. Didn't show up on their system.
I asked when they could have one in. Turns out none of their distribution centers had one!
No biggie, not wanting to pay dealer price and wait 'til I could manage to get to the 9-5 dealer parts counter, I go online to Rock Auto dot com. Only one available was Motorcraft for more than I expected, but OK, whatever. Placed the order and went along my merry way.
I got an email the next day acknowledging the order but was informed it would take a couple days extra for them to get it from a different distribution center?
Turns out it finally did ship today according to an email I received.
Kinda weird for such a common part I would think.
I wonder if anyone else has had trouble locating a wiper motor lately.
(I just hope it's the right one when I receive it!)
