The first electric wipers were supplied by Owen-Dyneto Corporation of Syracuse, NY. Unfortunately, the bases and covers of these wipers were made of zinc die-castings (pot-metal). Over time this metal became very brittle and delicate. It is rare to find an Owen-Dyneto wiper in good condition today. We have made accurate molds and recast these units in tin. This has proved to be a strong yet workable metal. We then rebuild the internal parts and transfer these original parts to the new cases. All new arms, switches, mounting boots and plates are added as well as new blades, swing arm supports and electrical connectors. Our restored units come complete and ready to install.

Ford also installed wipers at the factory from E.A. Laboratories and Heinze Electric (Ames tradename). The E.A. base was a casting but several of these have survived. The base as well as the base and cover on the Heinze were made of pressed steel or brass. Like the Owen-Dynetos, these units are restored to like new condition and come complete.

If you would like us to restore or service your unit, please send it to us for evaluation. We will notify you prior to incurring any charges. Please include sufficient postage for return.
