Dead Wipers

Time to start posting General Happenings again.

I'm driving home from work this Friday and about half way home my windshield wipers start going slower...and slower...and stop. I'm pretty sure my wiper motor is dead. Time for a trip to Potsdam Tire & Auto to get what I'm sure will be at least a couple hundred in repairs done! If it were Christmas I'd put a new wiper motor on my list!

$235 for a new motor and four trips back (once for a re-repair) and they seem to be working again. I think the driver's side wiper is going too far over and *thunking* on the post. Maybe a 5th time back will be the charm.
