[Tigers] Windshield Wiper motors etc.

[Steve Halbrook]

Bill:

I would bet that it is congealed grease in the wiper drive tube.  I
used mineral spirits and a lot of patience cleaning my tube so that the
drive cable now spins freely. It was totally locked up when I started.
I would squirt a bit of cleaner into the tube and then work the drive
"cable" back and forth and in and out, adding solvent as needed, until
I was able to pull it completely out.

I have recently gotten a Mark II back on the road after a long sleep -
cannot
get wipers to work, assume motor is burned out or grease in mechanism
has
essentially solidified.  Does anyone on list have link to good tech tip
on R
and R of wiper mechanism?  Thanks.
