Description
Tired of dealing with stretched, unreliable wiper cables on your 1958–1962 Corvette (C1 chassis)? The Raingear wiper systemis a modern, dependable upgrade that eliminates the factory cable setup and replaces it with a durable, precision-engineered link-and-lever mechanism. This system helps prevent costly damage to your windshield caused by cables allowing the wipers to over-travel.
Fitment:
Fits all 1958–1962 Chevrolet Corvettes
Does not fitcars with cross-mount master cylinders (after market under dash 90 degree brake pedal assembly)
Benefits:
Replaces the problematic original cable system
Prevents wipers from coming off the edge of the windshield
Delivers smooth, consistent wiper motion
Maintains a factory-correct appearance using your original switch knob and escutcheons
Included in Kit:
Complete Raingear wiper drive system
Wiring and switch (required for operation)
Not Included (but original parts will fit):
Wiper arms and blades
Chrome escutcheons (pivot post trim pieces)
Electrical Note: This system cannot be controlled by factory GM column-mounted switches. The RainGear motor operates on switched positive voltage, while GM systems use switched ground. You must use the included switchfor proper functionality. The original Corvette wiper control knob will fit this switch for a stock interior look.
Upgrade your classic Corvette with confidence — better function, cleaner design, and no more cable hassles.
