How to Change Rear Wiper Motors on a Pontiac Transport

The rear wiper motor on a Pontiac Trans Sport wears out over time with regular use. If your Trans Sport's wiper motor starts to squeal or strains while operating, then you may need to change it. Replacement motors can be purchased from a GM dealership or from most auto parts stores. You'll need the year of your Trans Sport so that you get the correct size and type of motor.
