Dothan Alabama is a small place on Earth.

For your exact request I’d say, nobody.

That being said, what issue are you having?

Might actually offer an option you can check into yourself saving money.

Thank you all for your response. I'm guilty of being wordy so I'll try and be specific. After a heavy rain I found a small puddle on the driver side floor. However, the problem I'm asking about concerns the wipers. The intermittent function no longer works although slow and fast do. When I then turn the wipers off they may or may not stop. I have resorted to pulling the fuse and driving only when good weather is expected. I do small bolt-on jobs but electrical intimidates me.

^The right stalk needs to be replaced. It’s common for the wiper control to fail in that multifunction stalk.

Autozone carries an aftermarket version cheaper than factory.

I worked at a corvette-only repair shop and we kept several in stock at any time.

The issue of water on the floorboard is unrelated. That is an issue aside.

With respect to the H2O problem, check the "udders", under the cowl area, for debris that's clogging them.

AGREE, three under cowl on drivers side and one long crooked on on passenger side. Slip them off and clean or wiggle bottom open and see if any debree in them and clean out.
