What you need to do is remove the cowl at the base of the windshield. Under it is the linkage for the wipers. Check to see if the linkage is disconnected or broken.

Let me know what you find.

hi, my wipers stop working. the screws that hold them in place are still moving and they are still tight, but the wipers only go up half way sometimes and sometimes it moves right off the window. what do you think the problem is?

Remove the wiper blade and check to see if the teeth on the arm and socket are stripped.

Let me know what you find.
