Just called the dealer (Speedway in Victoria). Part # is apparently 
now: 1HM 955 531C, and is $ 47.72 CDN.

Local FLVWAPS (BowWow) told me the "1HM" indicates a dealer only 
part. ie: they have a relay ending in "955 531", but it's a standard 
wiper relay. Has anyone located an alternate source for this (other 
than used)?
