My problem is that someone damaged one of the 2 prongs that contact the wiper cover's circuit board, probably when they changed valve covet gaskets. I can not find ANYTHING that references these 2 contact prongs. I don't even know what they are called and cannit locate them in any parts catalog.

You have to replace the board. Purchase a new Wiper cover.

Bought a rebuilt wiper motor from Advance Auto awhile back. Darn thing stopped working (only wiping 1/4 of the windshield). Took it back to them,,has a life time warrenty. Replaced for free. I would like to know where to find a cover, mine has a small chunk missing.

I might clarify that these two prongs have a blade connector base so they are easily slip off of the "blade" on the back of the wiper motor. The two removable prongs are bent in a "c" shape and have a contact point much like you would see on a set of points. They make contact with the "pads" on the inside of the wiper cover's circuit board.

They MUST be replaceable.
