Last night my windshield wipers began to act erratic. It began with the passenger side starting to click as it bottomed out in the tray. Then the same wiper only traveled partially through it’s cycle… while still clicking as it bottomed out in the tray. It would then function as normal then start traveling erratic a few cycles later. The driver side wiper functioned as normal. At one point the passenger side wiper began to extend it’s travel all the way across the windshield overlapping the driver side… no where to pull off. Then the two wipers made contact and the driver side sprung back lodging between the side mirror and windshield upright.
The Boxster is a 2000, it has held up well and is very much a garage queen after being a daily driver for years.
How would you suggest I progress in troubleshooting this?… has anyone else experienced the same problem? Queries of the postings did not provide any similar experiences.
I checked to make certain the hardware was intact and everything seems secure… although it is hard to determine as the arms rotate / move, as there does not seem to be a hard stop in either direction.
My next step is to align everything and see if it re-occurs… but that will only confirm I have a problem.
I appreciate any insight as to how to move forward in figuring this one out… before i start taking things apart.
