So I absolutely need to get home to my house today for a special dinner I‘ve been planning with my best friend. I‘m at my boyfriend‘s right now, but there is one problem. I was driving the other night with the windshield wipers on the lowest setting. All of a sudden I heard a very loud snapping noise, and then they wipers seemed like they were trying to move, but would only go a fraction of an inch by themselves. I got out of the car and could easily move them manually (which is not a very good solution for driving. heh heh heh) But when I tried turning them on again same thing. It looks like they are really struggling to move but don‘t.I‘m pretty sure the motor is still fine because I can hear it going when I turn them on.Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, its supposed to rain all day!
Sounds like the connection between the motor and the arms is broken. It may not be that expensive to fix, if you take it to the right place. You being a girl, some places may try to take advantage of you and charge you an arm and a leg. Find out exactly what is wrong and get an estimate first.
It sounds like your wiper arms are stripped where they attatch to the motor nubs. Get new wiper arm assemblies from an auto partd store or your local dealer, have them install them for you, if you do not know how. Good Luck
sounds like its not going to be something you can do yourself if its raining or looks like its about too, DON'T use your car with out wipers, If you crash at best you will only end up in court with a nice little fine to pay At worst you will kill someone!! If its dry then you can take the risk of not being stopped by the police,
