Actually, any fuggin' car, just help me diagnose this really dumb problem. A week ago or so, the driver side windshield wiper decided it didn't need to go all the way to the left (driver side) pillar anymore, and started coming up about 2" short. Weird, slightly annoying, but not annoying enough for me to unlazy myself enough to investigate.

Today, however...left wiper only goes about halfway up, and right wiper runs into it, mangling the wiper portion of right blade (may be salvageable, may not). And now the left wiper is only going up about 2" from resting position. Slightly mangled right wiper goes completely over the top of it.

Wiper motor issue? Seems like that component is pretty binary--it's working, or it isn't. When it isn't, neither wiper should move at all. Why'd the left wiper shit down its leg?

To optimize the discussion, I've checked the lint trap, milk is in the freezer, I have my briar pants on, I'm wearing two condoms, and War Pigs is playing at a reasonable volume in the background.

Stripped spindle where wiper attaches?***

This sounds like a reasonable assessment. Going

Put it in your mouth and move your tongue around a lot***

Tighten the nut holding the wiper arm on to the wiper motor

Sounds like the diesel wiper capcitor

This is tough, you may need a 3rd condom and to turn warpigs

I conceived my first child to that song

the (bolts? at the) arms prob just need to be tightened

I think it's just the driver's side that is zarfed.

it was a quick fix. Just bring a wrench

gonna take him out back and shoot him

it's the safest way, really

See, today is proof that the Jounge isn't a 100% waste of

yep, i do, actually

we're back to 100% useless now, aren't we?***

I considered this, but if the wiper is already hitting

i'd still try it, there's a possibility that the wiper is

1)Unbolt the wiper arm

I'm gonna just put this out there...

It was a test***

Are you sure it isn't time to take that car out back and

no biggie.

Did you try hitting it with a hammer?

like mid driver door.

To be safe, I'd just beat it all over

I did that once

A coworker had the exact same issue in his Pilot.

Time to burn it to the ground and collect insurance

Sounds like to me the #### things are trying

windshield wiper probs reminds me of my severe UDP days

A lot of y'all seem to have problems with your Pilots

Have you been able to put those condoms to use
