Default worst weather of the year and the wiper trans gives out along with inside door handle

Default is it the wiper trans when it won't return to the bottom, but both moves in sync

the wipers are in sync and not in contact, but the resting position keeps shifting

Default You might have stripped the splines...were you trying to clean your windshield w/wipers?

Or you may just have ton of snow/ice accumulated on the bottom so they don't come back all the way down??

Default they sit in the middle of the windshield right now, if splines stripped they would sit different

also they still sweep the whole cycle, but its like up down middle instead of up down.

Default how did you fix yours? new cable or latch? my handle feels normal, but it would leave

like a 3mm slack when it worked.

Default Any luck? I have the same problem

The mechanic I goto thinks its the wiper motor. I have my doubts since it still goes all the way up and back down. But same problem with mine, it seems to be shifting where it stops.

Default been cold here so i've been putting it off, i figure it's a slip inside the wiper tranny

and wouldn't know the exact failure until i take it apart.

it could require a tweak or entire unit replaced, who knows.
