Again, awesome update. thanks for being honest, subscribed because you deserve it for the assist!

Im with you, brotha. Took that assembly apart and put it back together too many times. Out of the blue I found on Amazon X8R Clips. I crushed one of their clips on and it's been working for 8 months. Thanks for the videos and say "ya" tuda upers!

Yes this helped greatly. Thanks for the original video and update. Dealer wanted $350 for the repair on my 2012 Equinox. Only the 2013 is under GM recall currently. I bought the entire ACDelco 84241847 GM Original Equipment Windshield Wiper System Module that included the motor for $67 from Amazon. Original GM part and exact fit, just plug and play no messing around with the press fit connections. Did have a bit of trouble removing the wiper arms but should have had them lifted up to relieve the spring tension when pulling off. Otherwise no issues, just needed to run the wipers to set up the correct wiper position before locking down.

Your videos were great. It kept me away from the Dorman bushing but I couldn’t find a transmission in a junk yard near me and the only one I found was $30 cheaper than a new Dorman transmission. I buy the Doorman transmission for $130 & had to transfer my wiper motor over but the motor wasn’t calibrated right and when I would connect the linkage it wasn’t in the right position. After 10 days the cheap bushing popped off. I looked back on line for the OEM expecting to pay the $180 for the OEM with a new wiper motor. Amazon had a deal on it for $50 so I jumped on it. A brand new OEM with a new motor for $80 cheaper then the Dorman without the motor. It was a great find like your videos were. I had the new piece installed in 10 minutes! Dealership wanted $180 for part and $200 for labor. With the AC Delco OEM I got from Amazon I had the whole thing done in 10 minutes for $50 plus the frustration from the Dorman product but since I got my $130 back I’m ok!

Thanks for the videos. Fortunately I found this one before I ordered the Dorman bushings. I got a brand new AC Delco wiper transmission for $75. I would've paid four times that taking it some place. I'm not very handy, but your video gave me the confidence to do it.

Good fix....remaimber me.....a long time ago....well I`m still here and watching so I`m happy you stuck with it.....CHEERS

I drilled a small hole through the side of the bushing and the ball it sits on. All it cost me was pennies for a cotter pin. That arm is never going to pop off.

I like the intro, very cool. I'm glad the salvage yard had a good part for you.

Thanks for posting this video it was really helpful 👍🏽

you made the upgrade to the garage too, congratulations!

To all who have spent money on this fix, you can be reimbursed. GM has a special coverage adjustment for the wiper transmission static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10171252-9999.pdf for vehicles 2010 - 2012 and 2014 - 2017 for Equinox and Terrain. If you have not gotten it fixed yet, take it to the dealer it will be covered provided that is fall in the 10 years or 150,000 miles ranges.

hi UP DIY. well, I tried the Dorman fix. while in the middle of it I came across this video. so I just finished it up since I had to get the car on the road. Hopefully I get Lucky. I try to keep you informed on the progress. It worked when I put it in. cross your fingers. if it Breaks, I'll go with 1Aauto or Rock auto.Thanx 4 your help and the update....

Great deal on the pick and pull parts you can always find some good ones at a good price

Awesome vid man! I purchased the cheaper window motors for my Chevy silverado and found out they were junk. I then purchased the Dormans and so far so good. Maybe I was just lucky. They have been going strong for 6-8 months so far. Great fix on the Equinox!

My 10 terrain has used up 3. Last 2 I got from the dealer for free under a recall. There is a recall for this part. My 1st recall lasted 6 mths.

FYI they sell the whole assembly at gmc for 165. It comes with the motor that is why its costly but well worth it.

Love the intro that reminds me of my father's farmer fix just get it going tell we have time to fix it right

Every one heads up. Canada recalled all Equinox from 2010-16 you have to make a new drain hole on the passenger side air intake, it's making water drain straight onto the ball joint losing your grease and corroding the joint itself. Drill the hole get a new linkage from amazon. Your welcome.

I bought a 2016 equinox wiper linkage assembly for my 2011 terrain off of ebay for $40. Excellent condition and been working perfect. Popped right in, no modifications. YMMV

Should update the description on the original video and add some wording on the video to reference this fix. Thank you!

Anybody with an Equinox that has this problem needs to file a complaint with the NTHSA. So far, only the 2013 Equinox has the recall with the exact same wiper transmission. Canada has a recall for all the Equinoxs with this problem. Not here in the United States. If enough people complain to the NHTSA about this problem, they will inform Chevy to recall all of these.

Looks like the nylon bushings WOULD'VE worked only if you were replacing a non-OEM Dorman wiper transmission. You were trying to fix a GM OEM part with those Dorman-specifc replacement bushings. I just ordered a new GM OEM wiper transmission from RockAuto for about $64 US.

Most dorman stuff is junk. Good to see ya back.

Keep your old one, The long arm hardly ever wears. Cut and weld to make a short arm. Works great!

I use duck tape and it have done the trick for 2months and + for sure and I been using my wipers at least 2 times a week

Big thanks from a troll (Albion MI). I thought I had the issue with the linkage coming undone however mine was as simple as a loose wiper blade nut, however this video was helpful for finding out the uninstall/re-install process.

My wife 2014 equinox car is having this same problem right now...Can I uses a Zip tie on it for now as a temp fix’s?.. some one please reply back I have took it apart to meny time

I you have this issue with our 2015, the 2013s were recalled. The NHTSA is looking into this problem. If you have this issue, please file a complaint to force GM to recall. www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/VehicleComplaint/ I was able to buy a new one on Amazon for about $70.

Any idea why my 2015 Chevy Equinox wiper transmission is going into opposite directions? One wiper works correctly the other one goes to opposite direction

How'd you temporary the it so that's at it still pivots? I'm waiting for parts to come in

Did you have a hard time getting the windshield wipers to go on and operate smoothly after replacing this? Same car same issue replaced the whole thing cannot get the windshield wipers to go on and operate smoothly. They want to hit each other and flop around.

Mines fell out of alignment the twist downwards instead up upwards like how it should wipe pls help

I just had this problem last week AND purchased the crap Dorman bushings but before seeing your awesome videos. Anyone have any luck with the "improved" GM design they made for the linkage assembly? It's part # 84241847 and looks a little different than the linkage you have in your two videos. Supposedly improved bushings and some water deflectors.

Good temporary fix . Oh ya I stay away from anything labeled dorman . LOL

FYI: gmc issued a recall not sure if it's for chev..I got my recall notice in May/18 for same problem on my 2011 gmc terrain.

I wish we still had junk yards....they have all gone in favor of high density housing..... :-(

there is now a recall for it

In the UP alot of wipers break. people don't clean the snow off . good for business. lol

I get that replacing the bushings would be ideal if it were that simple and a reliable fix, but it simply isn't. I ended up replacing the entire wiper transmission linkage too. $120 and it's fixed.

Wut up dude!!!

You must of got snow, I see the sled..

you should have left the equinox were you found that part.

I'm going to use a zip tie 🤷🏾‍♂️

I used rock auto

zip tie it and leave it

If you have a GM product, go to acdelco.com and you can enter your vin and look up part numbers and buy the parts on amazon. A lot cheaper than going to a dealer.

So, basically I need to replace the whole damn thing. Very disappointed at my wife’s car. I owned a Toyota. Never had this kind of issue.

I guess when you painted the walls blue you painted your gloves as well. :) Its the little things that give us the big B#&ls

I found the best fix is a gallon of gas and a match. The equinox is the biggest peice of shit I have ever owned. Its my wife's car so it gets babied all the time. It was a peice of shit at 30,000 miles.
