Kid. I forgot to mention that I had a problem with my wipers being VERY slow to operate when I first bought the car. Servicing the wiper motor helped, but I also found that the wiper shaft that comes through the cowl was almost seized. Removed then freed/lubed, and wipers working better, but still nor real good. The next thing I realized, was that a previous owner had replaced both of the wiper arms and blades with some incorrect aftermarket parts. The spring tension was too high, and the blades were heavy compared to the original type. I replaced the arms and blades with aftermarket original style parts, and now the wipers work as designed. The picture shows what was on the car when I bought it.
