    I'm looking for this style wiper knob. Been searching online for WEEKS. If anyone has one for sale or knows where to get one It would be really appreciated. I have a 64' with bottom wipers/frame from a 69'

    I believe the part number for that part is 943924.

    I found one eBay a while back with this in the box.

    I too have searched with no luck. I've contemplated buying this switch just for the knob

    How many people need the knob and does anyone have a good sample to reference?

    I could do a run of em on the 3d printer with PETG but I'll have to be mid summer at the soonest. Anyone with a slight interest would need to like this post.

    I couldn't find a wiper knob either, I bought a second "LIGHTS" knob and was going to remove the lettering with lacquer thinner.

    That's an interesting idea. I bet my wife could make some wipers lettering and arrow with her cricut

    That was my plan! Either a stencil and paint, or just stick some vinyl on it.

    Are the letters embossed into your switch? Or just painted on the surface?

    I’ll have to confirm when I get home but I think they are slightly embossed.

    I think that is an AMC intermediate and later style knob - not oem style for the early cj5s.

    I bought one of those from this guy several years ago - he runs a parts house for Postal Jeeps, which shared the same wiper knob. You might check with him and see if he still has any in stock: Gary Pounds <gary.pounds@icloud.com>, or postaljeepheaven@yahoo.com . The company website is http://www.postaljeep.net/

    Is the base, thread, and setscrew the same as the headlight switch?

    dnb5853 Is sending me one he had on a shelf! With a caveat that the back has an aluminum insert with a threaded screw.

    That said, If Jw60 if you think it's still worth using as a template for 3d printing, I'd be willing to lend it out for a bit for "the cause" :beer:. That's if the aluminum insert doesn't make it too complicated to be economical.

    Either way, SUPER PUMPED! Thx again
