acutally u can not operate the wiper while the ice or snow on the windsield...u have to clean the ice or snow before u use wiper..wiper are not made to clean ice.....they will broken..but i am not sure it will cover the warranty or not..it depends on the dealership..they will have to see it to determine..

well when they ask what happened, be careful so you word it in a way that they can't blame you ... ie: send the girlfriend in with the car and have her play stupid, "like uhh, the wiper doesn't work" -- not a dis on the ladies, just an idea...

you must do the dealer route, sounds like the connection at the arm is stripped

The 14 mm nut that secures the wiper arm to the linkage is loose this should take but a few minutes to correct with a wrench.There really is no need to go and send in the alleged dumb girlfriend or any other nonsense,just tell them here is the problem that's all.Jens
