Subject:      Quick freeze, wipers on...

...and now they just flop around on the windshield.  I accidentally left the
wipers on last night when it was raining, and this morning (when it was
below freezing) they were still on when I started it up. :(


I assume that the gear is broken in the wiper motor.  Crap.


The motor runs fine, but the wipers do not engage.


Is this a job for a new wiper motor, or is the gear replaceable?  And I can
only guess that getting the motor out from under that dash is just going to
be lovely.


So far this "buying a Vanagon" thing has been a daily learning experience.
But I guess it was the same way with my Bus.


Thanks all,
