The filter member is mounted to a radially inwardly facing surface of an upper area of a cylindrically shaped portion of a water diverting member below portions of a support panel above a wiper drive mechanism. The filter member encircles a shaft housing of the wiper drive mechanism and is shaped and dimensioned to allow flow of water from a first shaft opening in the support panel therethrough and restrict flow of debris from the first shaft opening therethrough.
