Wiper Motor
By OE Match
- Porsche 356 1950-55
- Porsche 356A 1955-59
OE Match wiper motor mounting plate, supplied in primer finish, designed for early Porsche 356 models produced between 1952 and 1957. This plate provides the correct mounting surface and alignment for the wiper motor within the front body structure.
Fits:
Porsche 356 1952 - 1957 Coupe / Cabrio
Diagram ref no 9
The mount plate secures the wiper motor to the body, maintaining correct motor positioning and alignment with the wiper transmission. Proper mounting ensures smooth, consistent wiper operation and prevents vibration, misalignment, or premature wear of the motor and linkage.
Function: Installed behind the front body panel, the wiper motor mount plate provides a rigid, stable base for the motor assembly. It absorbs operational loads and vibration while maintaining precise alignment of the motor shaft and linkage arms. Correct plate geometry is essential to ensure proper sweep motion and reliable long-term operation of the wiper system.
Original wiper motor mount plates on early Porsche 356 models are prone to rust, fatigue, or distortion due to age, moisture ingress, and prolonged vibration. A weakened or misaligned mounting plate can cause wiper motor noise, poor wiper sweep, or mechanical strain on the linkage system. Replacing it with an OE Match plate restores structural integrity, correct alignment, and reliable wiper performance.
When to replace:
• Original plate shows corrosion or metal fatigue
• Wiper motor mounting points are loose or distorted
• During full body restoration or front panel repair
• When upgrading or replacing the wiper motor assembly
• Preventive replacement on unrestored vehicles

OEMatch Wiper Motor — Fit, Function, Confidence
Wiper motors convert electrical input into the mechanical motion that sweeps the blades across the windscreen. OEMatch supplies a selection of replacement units for Porsche models, covering classic and modern applications and chosen to match the original mounting, electrical interface and service expectations.
Available Types
- Replacement wiper motors for classic and modern Porsche models
Understanding OEMatch Wiper Motor
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the same company that produced your Porsche’s original wiper motor. OE (Original Equipment) refers to parts matching original specifications for the wiper motor and may be supplied by alternative manufacturers. Aftermarket parts offer alternative options, sometimes with enhanced features or better value. OEMatch supplies non-OEM wiper motor engineered as direct-fit alternatives to OEM parts, made to original-spec dimensions and tolerances for Porsche models.
The wiper motor sits beneath the windscreen cowl and drives the linkage that moves the arms and blades. When you select a speed or intermittent wipe, the motor and its internal gearing provide the controlled motion and torque required to clear water, snow or debris. Proper electrical connection, gearing condition and freedom of movement in the linkage are all important for dependable operation. OEMatch focuses on wiper motor items selected for Porsche applications.
Benefits Include
- Restores effective windscreen clearing in wet or soiled conditions
- Supports intermittent and variable wiping modes where fitted
- Reduces excessive load on the linkage and related components
Why Wiper Motor Wear and Fail
- Electrical faults such as poor connections, corroded terminals or blown fuses
- Wear to brushes, bearings or internal gears that reduces torque
- Stiff, seized or damaged linkages and pivot points that overload the motor
The Importance of Replacing with OEMatch Wiper Motor
Maintaining a serviceable wiper motor directly affects visibility and safety in adverse weather and is commonly reviewed at inspection or MOT checks. Replacing a worn or intermittent motor restores reliable clearing of the windscreen, helps protect the linkage and arms from secondary damage, and supports the safe operation of Porsche models in everyday and seasonal conditions.
Advantages
- Direct-fit replacements engineered to match original dimensions and tolerances
- Selected for Porsche applications by OEMatch to help match part references and electrical interfaces
- Made to original-spec dimensions where applicable to support consistent operation
Support & Advice
These items affect safety-critical systems. Installation should be carried out by a qualified technician following model-specific procedures and torque settings. Use calibrated tools and new fasteners where specified. If you are unsure about hidden sensors, wiring or required recalibration, seek professional fitting.
