Hi Phil,

Pretty big gobs of leaf encrusted butyl have come out from behind wiper motors in my experience. Can't say whether any were factory original, but the butyl seal between the gear assembly and the outer firewall isn't as crucial, in my opinion, as the grommet on the inner firewall. This is obvious to you now, when you see how that inner panel under the cowl dumps right on it.

My guess is the wiper motor gets serviced several times over a 30-year period, and the attention given that butyl seal is overkill. Interesting hearing your old grommet is tight in the hole. Maybe only Costanza had a problem with shrinkage.
