I bought the molar 3 piece hard top from you guys and the rear wiper has not work correctly since I have had it. It will work on the spray wiper button, but the regular wipe button the blade moves one way, stops halfway, then completes swipe, stops and after a few minutes it returns the same way. Had adams jeep look at it and they said the motor is the issue. 1. the motor tag shows DYAUTO 0011001481900035R_AL1, 511038AA AND 18/03/14. I am looking at your mopar replacement and cannot find any reference to these numbers. Is this going to fit?? 2. Do I need the whole kit and why? 3. do i need any special tools for this? I have mechanics tools.
The short answer is yes, the Mopar 68002489AA is the correct replacement for your Jeep.
Here is the breakdown for your specific situation:
1. Compatibility and Part Numbers
The numbers you are seeing on your motor tag (511038AA and the DYAUTO string) are manufacturing and engineering numbers, not the service part number.
511038AA: This is the engineering "stamped" number used during the assembly of the vehicle. It frequently differs from the retail/service part number.
68002489AA: This is the official Mopar Service Part Number. It is the updated, direct replacement for all Jeep Wrangler JK models from 2007–2018.
18/03/14: This is simply the date of manufacture (March 14, 2018).
2. Do you need the "Whole Kit"?
In the Jeep JK world, "the kit" usually refers to the motor assembly plus the plastic cover, the wiper arm, and the mounting hardware.
Why you might NOT need it: If your plastic cover and wiper arm are in good shape, you only need the motor (68002489AA). The motor comes with the fluid nozzle already integrated.
Why you might WANT it: The rear wiper motor is mounted through the glass. The rubber grommets and plastic mounting nuts often become brittle or seize over time. If you find your current hardware is corroded or the plastic cover tabs are broken, a hardware kit (Mopar 68002492AA) is a cheap insurance policy to avoid a second trip to the store.
3. Required Tools
There are no "specialty" Jeep tools required, but you will need these specific sizes:
10mm Socket/Wrench: For the internal mounting bolts.
13mm Socket/Wrench: To remove the nut holding the wiper arm to the motor shaft.
Small Flathead Screwdriver: To pop the plastic trim covers and the wiring harness clip.
Adjustable Wrench or Large Pliers: Sometimes helpful for the large plastic nut that secures the motor to the glass.
Optional - Trim Pry Tool: Useful for removing the plastic interior cover without scratching it.

My soft top was swapped with a hard top (JK 2012). The top has the wiper blad and assembly but isn’t connected to anything.

Is the little plastic wiper washer nozzle available separately?
No, unfortunately the rear nozzle is not serviced on its own.
