Consumer Description

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED AFTER BEING STUCK TO THE WINDSHIELD. THE MOTOR DID NOT HAVE TIME TO BURN OUT AS IT WAS INSTANTANEOUS WHEN I ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE WAND WHEN STARTING THE CAR. IT SEEMS AS IF THE WIPERS SEIZED IMMEDIATELY WHEN EXPERIENCING THE RESISTANCE FROM THE ICE. THERE WAS VERY LITTLE ICE, IN FACT, I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO SCRAPE THE WINDSHIELD. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS I WAS PREPARING TO DRIVE HOME DURING A SNOW STORM. THE MECHANISM SHOULD BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND MORE RESISTANCE. *TR
