...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,
