Consumer Description

NUTS ATTACHING THE WINDSHEILD WIPERS TO THE WIPER DRIVE SHAFT REPEATEDLY COMING LOOSE. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE 3-15-04. YOU DON'T KNOW THAT THEY'RE LOOSE UNTIL YOU NEED YOUR WIPERS IN RAIN OR SNOWY CONDITIONS AND YOU TURN THEM ON TO FIND THE DRIVE MECHANISM IS LOOSE FROM THE BLADE AND SLIPS. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO NOT HAVE WIPERS WHEN YOU NEED THEM.*AK
