    Passenger wiper not moving

    thanks guys. I bought the new transmission (and motor assembly). Good tip on the clips also as I broke every one of those damn things. One tip I found on a youtube video was to remove the hood shocks and stand the hood straight up or carefully lay it back on the windshield. This allows...
