Thank you! I now understand why my wipers keep needing repair. Heavy snow and ice in Canada constantly stripping the splines if the windshield is not clean to the glass. Seems pretty easy to avoid damage and a quick fix on a tight budget. Also keeps me from being taken to the cleaners now that I can research parts and labour.

Unfortunately it’s very Rarely that I see a mechanic giving great advice and saving people money, but you covered all the bases on this one and even did so in a way that most people with minimal mechanical ability could do the job their self and get back on the road with 2 wipers working again. Only small detail that I do different is I use jb weld in the tube that you knead together instead of lock tight, but regardless of that detail You got 5 gold⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ in my opinion brother. Please keep up the good work and info helping people. By the way not that it Matters but I’m a ASE Certified Master Mechanic that has owned a shop in Indiana for 24 yr’s and I’m glad to see that other Mechanics give customers cheaper band-aid options when it’s safe and they don’t have the money to dish out. God bless and please keep up the good work. You earned a subscriber today

Jim, thank you so much! I was on my way from Charleston, WV to Columbus, OH and my drivers side wiper just pooped out on me lol. It was pouring and very foggy. This was the first video i saw, and (thanks to my dad) i had a socket set in my trunk. I fixed it! I had pulled over on rt 35, which is a scary 2-lane road with only farm animals and truckers for MILES.. something bad could've happened if they saw a 25 yr old on the side of the road by herself. You saved my ass! Thank you thank you thank you 😚💜

Great video as always Jim ! Hopefully she lives somewhere in the south. Where I am, if you don't have winter wipers, ice will 'glue' your wiper blades to the windshield and if you don't manually lift them up before turning them on, you risk ripping the rubber off. In this case, if the wiper blades are frozen to the glass, the Loctite would probably not provide enough friction adhesion and the wiper will fail again. As you said Jim, this buys her some time and as a temporary fix it is great! Keep'em coming. Take care.

I have a 2002 Chevy Express cargo van that I use to tow a boat and a travel trailer. It runs very well with about 120,000 miles on it so am going to keep it for awhile. As with many older vehicles, little things break. I found that using 3M 5200 sealant works great. I use it on my boat for below water line repairs. It is pretty much a permanent fix so one has to be cautious when using this sealant. I also have some interior parts that break and I use Gorilla glue epoxy for those repairs. Thanks for all the tips!

I guess if the driver's side wiper is still working, that must mean that the actual wiper transmission is still in a functioning state? I guess I will see when I check it.
