<p>A windshield wiper pivot housing (14) includes a vibrationally dampening element disposed between a receiver housing and an insert receiving a fastener for attaching the pivot housing to a vehicle (32). The insert is unitarily molded to the receiver and is separated from the receiver during the molding operation and isolated from the housing by the resilient dampening element to vibrationally isolate the insert, the fastener and the attached vehicle component from any vibrations imposed on the receiver housing by a windshield wiper drive (24). Ribs extend inward from a sidewall of the housing and outward from the insert for securely engaging the vibration dampening element with the insert and the housing.</p> |
