Windshield wiper motor

[TomC]

Hi Group
This is my first post. I am posting to help my friend Gary with his 1971 3.0CS with an automatic transmission.
Today's problem is a bad windshield motor. This is a Bosch DHP 12V 0 390 341 051. Bosch's web site tells me that this is a windshield wiper motor and they do not make them any more. From looking on the web I get the feeling that this wiper motor fits all the E9 coupes. Is this true? Does it fit other BMWs? Maybe it fits some thing unrelated?
The problem with this wiper motor is rust. In particular the magnets. Has anyone seen this before? and fixed it?
Anyone out there with a working used wiper motor for sale? Any ideas were to look for a used or rebuilt wiper motor.
Thank You
TomC in Ohio

Have you searched the forum for cleaning/rebuild info? There's been a couple threads on this.

Hi deQuincey
Thank you! My search did not pick this thread up.
It looks like Bill had the same problem that we have. The magnets are coming apart. Has anyone found a good fix for this?

magnets

On my wife's 240 Volvo, the magnets came loose from the housing and made the armature made an awful grinding sound. Not really knowing what was going on, I figured I'd take it apart since there was nothing to lose by doing so. Aha! Magnets not attached to housing.

Solution: clean the cylindrical housing and the magnets (they were intact) and epoxy glue them back together. Worked like a champ.

I agree with using epoxy...get the high temp, metal to metal stuff. I did this on a lawn tractor starter motor and it works well. On my coupe, the wiper motor had magnets that were crumbling into pieces. I happened to have a spare wiper motor housing with good magnets so I didn't go the epoxy route, but I would definitely use epoxy the next time the wiper motor self-destructs.
