Abstract
A windshield wiper assembly for a vehicle includes a wiper motor. The wiper motor has a housing having a top surface and a side surface, a projection projecting from the top surface, a mounting bracket integrally extending from the side surface, and a rib integrally extending from the top surface and between the projection and a longitudinal end of the mounting bracket. Advantageously, the rib enhances the robustness of the housing so that it is more tolerant of stresses experienced during use.
