I’m a translator stumped by a colleague’s request for help with French automotive terminology. I’ve been researching and this term does not seem to exist:  
  
 “pastille de respiration.” What could it possibly be in English?? It seems from the original text snippet that this would not be a _required_ part of the wiper motor. Please HELP as quickly as you can! Thank you!
