Well tackled my windshield wiper today LOL

I was able to rebuild my motor...once. Lasted about two years, and then its second life ran out.
I don't see them in your photos, but you can coax the two big magnets out of the housing, clean it as best you can, then epoxy them back in. Your other options are to buy an NOS part if you can find one, get one from a junkyard (which may not be in any better shape than yours) or come up with a more radical solution.
I ended up using a new, good sized DC motor that I coupled to the wiper drive shaft with a chain drive arrangement. It works fine, but it has only one speed, doesn't park itself, and sounds like a chain saw running when it's on.
Good luck with it.

That looks totally rebuildable! It’s when they eat the magnets that they get difficult to fix. I wouldn’t toss it.
remove all rust with phosphoric acid, neutralize, clean, lubricate and reassemble. Then seal the damn thing. You’re missing the plastic cover for the motor and gearbox. The repair won’t last long un-sealed and uncovered. If the new one you get from a member comes with a cover then great! Otherwise seal it, or it’ll do the same.
