Hey pathy fans,

what happened: -5C outside, after yesterdays drive the wipers froze to the windscreen and today I switched them on too early so the linkage snapped. Checked that the wipers are connected with each other, so the fault must be with the blades(?) from the motors end.

Haven´t opened it up yet to confirm, but has anyone got experience or knows if it´s easy to DIY?

kind regards,

Opened it up and nothing was broken. The rods are connected by ball joints in the center of the linkage and under pressure, the motor´s side rod end jumped out of the socket. Clipped it back in and fixed. A lot of plastic clips didn´t make it though, as they were very brittle. So heads up when removing the air intake covers.
