Consumer Description

While driving during a rain storm both wipers stopped working. Drivers wiper fell to drivers side resting on side rear view mirror and passengers fell down front of the RV. Pulled over and stopped until rain stopped. After looking in engine compartment the hardware that connects both wiper arms to the motor broke off from where the wipers arms connect. No indication of failure until both arms just broke off. Looks like they broke because of stress moving the wipers across windshield. Not sure if poor design of poor metal used.
