Well this morning My windows had ice on them so I dumped a bucket of hot watter on them and turned the wipers on, went inside to grab my backpack and came back out and the driver's side wiper wasn't moving when the passenger side wiper was.
I checked and it wasn't frozen to the glass. I just went out and pulled the arm off and The Splines on both the arm and linkage are stripped. I grabbed and arm off my 318i and tossed it on but you could move it by hand, I torqued the bolt down tight and the wiper moves now with the linkage. Eventualy I know I'll have to replace the linkage :x but is there anything I can do in the mean time to aviod the hard long job of getting the linkage out with the blower still inplace. If there is a day it will rain heavy I'll just drive the 318i but I need to fix this. I have the linkage already but don't feel like replacing it.
