Description of the problem | Wiper blades stop working as the linkages freeze up in freezing cold wet weather when there is no excessive visible ice at the base of the wiper arm. The only solution so far has been to bring the car into a heated shop to un-freeze the wipers. Happens every time it rains, then get a hard freeze. |
