[6pack] Slow windshield wipers

[Navarrette, Vance]

	Seth:

	Mine were slow too. Try removing, cleaning and greasing the
wiper rack. Then disassemble, clean, and grease the transmission in the
wiper motor housing. Use a light grease, lithium or some such on both
the rack and transmission.
	If that does not do it, then you are looking at replacing the
wiper wheel boxes, which is a tedious job. You must remove the dash, and
then open the access plates on the scuttle to remove and replace them.
Straight forward, but be prepared to wonder if God really intended for
TR6s to have wipers in the first place.
	The wiper motor is surprisingly hardy, if a bit undersized for
the job - so it is unlikely to be the culprit. However, Lucas the prince
of darkness is totally capricious in his moods, so anything is possible.

	Remember, DON'T LET THE SMOKE LEAK OUT OF THE MOTOR.

	Vance

Hey List,

My windshield wipers operate very slowly and I've lived with this up to
now.
I'm planning a trip bnack up to NY with my "6" in June and really need
to get
this problem fixed.

Is it a motor going bad or is there something else that needs to be
looked at
or adjusted?

Thanks in advance
