You can buy repops or current GM over the counter parts for about 15.00??? But these have the white plundger. If you want the original with the black plundger that is a whole different story.
Good luck.

I don't think you can actually find these anywhere right now, repop or not. The one guy who was making them for everyone stopped for some reason or another. I have been told that either he or someone new is supposed to be starting again but NO ONE has this part in stock right now. I found one on eBay a few weeks back and snatched it up at $85.00. There was one left and is listed at $150 last I checked. If you can get them over the GM counter, I would love to know where.

ok I must be out of touch.
Haven't collected those pieces for a long time. I had 5 of them and have sold them over the years.
I did sell one NOS with the black plundger last year or so for 150.00
I still have one or 2 left but keeping them as spares as I am restoring a 71 and just picked up a 69 L71 vert which will probably need this part.
I may have some that has the white plundger which I will send the original poster an email when I find them.

If you have an intact wiper safety switch, I can rebuild it for you. White or black plunger, makes no difference in how I do it. The repops are junk, and most of the original ones I've seen have worn out seals on the piston. PM me if you are interested.

The part needed is posted by C372Vette. It is in backorder. Mine has come apart and is missing the rubber. Just the body and spring left. I think it was a repop unit. I have had one on order forever. Corvette Central stated June 28 to ship if they got any, guess they didn't. Thanks for the offer to rebuild, mine is trash though, missing part of it. Anyone have a good used one?

If you have the (1) main body, (2) plastic plunger, and (3) spring I can rebuild it. The dust boot bellows really doesn't do very much at all in the overall operation of the switch, and is not even viable on most of the switches I see. If you're interested and have these parts. PM me.
