Is that what you cleaned out? And did you remove the actual wheelboxes (directly beneath the wiper shafts)? On my B one o; /html/mgs/2001-01/msg00652.html (9,123 bytes)

I didn't do the wheelboxes 'cuz I tested them by taking off the wiper arms and looking at how they did when turned on.

Mine won't even complete a sweep on a completely dry screen, for instance. So splash some water on it when testing.; /html/mgs/2001-01/msg00663.html (11,738 bytes)
