The invention is related to a gasket for a wiper system, the wiper system comprising a bracket and a motor barrel. The gasket comprises an opening for receiving the motor barrel, an engaging means arranged around the opening for engaging the bracket. The engaging means comprises at least one dividing means for providing discontinuity of the engaging means. The invention is also related to a gasket-bracket assembly comprising such a gasket. The invention is further related to a wiper system for an automotive vehicle comprising such a gasket. Furthermore, the invention is related to a method for assembling a gasket in a wiper system.

An opening-closing body driving motor includes a motor body, a drive circuit, and a control circuit. The motor body is provided to automatically open and close an opening-closing body of a vehicle. The drive circuit supplies driving power to the motor body. The control circuit includes a PWM controller. The control circuit is configured to adjust the driving power by PWM control and control an operation mode of the opening-closing body through the motor body such that the operation mode is changeable. The PWM controller is configured to have a control frequency of the PWM control include a frequency in an audible range based on a predetermined trigger so that the motor body vibrates in the audible range, thereby performing a sound producing operation. The predetermined trigger includes information about an opening-closing state of the opening-closing body or information about activation and deactivation of a child lock.

A wiper (14) for wiping a window pane (12) of a motor vehicle is provided, having a drive shaft (16) that can be driven by a motor, and a wiper lever (18) connected to the drive shaft (16) for moving a wiper blade. The wiper lever (18) is flexibly bendable. A maximum bending angle (20) of the wiper lever (18) around a bending axis extending perpendicular to the drive shaft (16) is limited by a limit stop (32) to bending of the wiper lever (18) in the range of elastic deformation. The limit stop (32) makes stop contact at the maximum bending angle (20) and can keep the deformation of the wiper lever (18) reliably in the range of elastic deformation, thus reducing the risk of damage to wipers (14).

A windshield wiper installation system is configured to be used to install a wiper on a windshield of an aircraft. The windshield wiper installation system includes a housing, an installation control unit contained within the housing, at least one positioning member secured to the housing, wherein the installation control unit is operatively coupled to the positioning member(s), and at least one position-setting member secured to the housing, wherein the installation control unit is operatively coupled to the position-setting member(s). The positioning member(s) is configured to be engaged to move the wiper to one or more desired positions on the windshield. The position-setting member is configured to set the desired position(s) when the wiper is at the desired position(s).

A vehicle windshield wiper assembly includes a filter member. The filter member is mounted to a radially inwardly facing surface of an upper area of a cylindrically shaped portion of a water diverting member below portions of a support panel above a wiper drive mechanism. The filter member encircles a shaft housing of the wiper drive mechanism and is shaped and dimensioned to allow flow of water from a first shaft opening in the support panel therethrough and restrict flow of debris from the first shaft opening therethrough.
