Sealing replacement windshield wiper motor 200 84

posted by  someone claiming to be Zee on  Sun Dec 17 23:57 CST 2000 [RELATED]

It has been more than a year since I removed the bad wiper motor and replaced it with a used one. Trouble is, I forgot how the original was sealed up against water leaking into the passenger side. (which it does)

On my '86, it looks like there is a spongy, black sealant under the motor to seal up the shaft hole.

Is this the only area that needs this caulking?

How about the hole inside the cowling where the shaft comes through to attatch to the wiper mechanism? Is this a second place for water to leak inside?

Finally, what are we using as sealant? I have some rope caulk (buytl-rubber)
