Woops! that was meant in humor for JJB for his mathmatical error, I forgot to do a quote.

No big. :D

Now mazdastuff is going to run out of stock and raise the price

Good info. Another great mod I HIGHLY recoommend is the PIAA Super Silicone Wipers. They are costly, but there's nothing like driving through a downpour, and not having to turn your wiper on at all!! Every wipe of the blade is like a new coat of Rain X. I have had them since about Apil, and love them!!! You can get them from Nopi I have the Carbon Fiber Blades (Not real Carbon Fiber!).

I just ordered mine from Mazdastuff.com, I ended up calling them, that is the nicest parts department I have ever dealt with. They are out of stock and have to order them, so you may want to to call today and get in with that order.

cake!
 

the wiper stalk/control module I ordered arrived today... ran out to the parking lot at work armed with a #2 phillips screw driver... in 15 mins I had completed the swap... worked like a charm!

thanks to all for the part numbers and info!

Seems I saw some 1st and 2nd gen wiper units on eBay :)

How did you go about contacting them and having the part shipped? Did you order it online or call them? Any language problems? How much was shipping? & What was the end price?

Finnish Part vs MPV Part
 

I may have missed something here. What is the difference between using the Eurpopean part vs the local MPV part?

Price, features?

Thanks

Intermittent Wiper Stalk $79.00
 

Hey! http://www.mazdastuff.com has the Intermittent Wiper Stalk 2003 MPV for sale at $79.00 usd

Re: Finnish Part vs MPV Part
 

I think for the sedans you need the Euro part. For the P5's you need the MPV stalk.

Re: Finnish Part vs MPV Part
 

I think that the European parts are substitures the regular Protege.

The MPV part is the sub for the Protege5 as it has the rear wiper control as well.

Thanks

I've got a '99 Protege LX -- can I get in on any of this action??

I've got them on and have a pic
 

I have an 03 Pro5. I got an arm out of an 01 MPV, from a wrecker.

I have a pic on page 2 of this link,

Don't forget to vote!

ALL 3rd gens can do this mod

P5s can use 99+ MPV stalk

sedans must use European 626 stalk

MPV wiper control for sedan??
 

Does anyone know if the MPV wiper control works on the 03 sedan and the rear wiper controls are just useless or do we absolutly need the euro 626 control?

Shrug...I dunno!

Re: MPV wiper control for sedan??
 

I'm pretty certain Edwin has done the comparison and the answer is NO, MPV stalk won't work with Protege sedans

I was driving my friend's Ford Escape (aka the Mazda Tribute) this weekend and noticed that the wiper stalk and headlight stalk appear to be identical to the ones in the Protege5. This might be another source for P5 owner's that want variable intermittents... I am sure that there have to be some of these in junk yards by now with the way people drive SUVs around here.

what happend to the how do?
 

:rolleyes:

People READ THE FUGGIN POSTS!!!!!!!

For a 99-up sedan, you need the part from the Euro 626

for a 01-up P5 you need the part from the US MPV

THESE ARE NOT INTERCHANGABLE.

READ BEFORE YOU POST! n00bs!

the stalk from the tribute will also work.

stalk for sedan
 

Cork Sport has the european 626 stalk for the Protege Sedan for $72.00.

I ordered one around mid-May and got a message from Chris saying they're back ordered into June. Bummer. I've gotta wait til the end of the rainy season in the Northeast. I'll post with the results after installation.

Got my stalk in yesterday. Took about 5 min to install. Works great. Cost me just under $80 with shipping to RI. Nice little mod for those of us caught in the rain.

Got a part number for corksport gavin?

99p-9-030

Looked all over the Corksport website and came up empty handed...even put in the part number for the search and nothing...please advise as I would like to get this intermittent stalk....to much rain in my area and the regular delay is driving me nuts.

Actually, I've emailed Corksport about this part number (99p-9-030), so hopefully I'll hear from them soon. If I do and it seems to be an easy way to order from them, then I'll post their reply here as well.

BTW, OEM part number is GE6M-66-128. I just called Corksport (503.252.5700) and ordered one...just under $80 with shipping, UPS. I talked to Darrick, but evidently anyone can help you there...they were very nice...
Can't wait to get "real" intermittent wipers now! :smoke:

Sorry the part number didn't work for ya. If you go to corksport.com, it's under the route: Protege/3 on the top, '99 - '03 Protege on the right, Styling - Interior third down on the right, and then it's on the top of page two.
Looks like you've already got it ordered but if you want to see what you're gonna get - there ya go.
Enjoy

Thanks man...I was looking under 626 and not finding anything....really a lot of other nice things on this site...not yet here, but would love to have the floor lighting and the rear cup holders...wow~!
