Custom !Windshield wiper mod
Step one, lift wipers to wash windshield.
Step two, unlatch hood to clean engine bay.
Step three lift hood and listen to the sickening crunch of your wiper breaking off. God i feel like such an ******* right now. I read of people doing this atleast five times and here i am. Anybody know how much it is to replace one? I'm just damn lucky i didn't break my windshield i guess. I was having such a good weekend, taking out two vert corvettes this weekend too.

Over the years of reading these type of threads....
I ALWAYS make sure of two things....
The T-tops are always locked with the key !....
The wipers are always down !....

Consider yourself lucky for only breaking the wiper arm off. I did that same thing one time, and instead of the arm breaking off, it was pushed back far enought to put a crack in my window! that was a nice $200 accident.

^^^Winter blows. Except for the snowboarding
$20 on ebay for a pair!! looks like i'm only out $30 after shipping. Anybody wanna buy a driver's side wiper arm? Now i just have to rent a gear puller from kragen to do the install.

That sucks, at least you didnt break the windshield. Thanks to posts like these (that should have kept you in check haha) a while back I popped the hood, felt the resistance against the wipers and quickly put it back down--Damn I got lucky!

Well my eyes pretty much popped out of my head and i slowly lowered the hood while praying my windshield was still intact. Oh yeah, update, i just blew one of my brand new nitto tires yesterday!! **** YEAH!! I have a hole in the sidewall so that tire is toast. My Nitto's have 4k on them so now i have one barely used nitto DR and three worn out Eagle F1's. I'm looking at buying a set of 4 nitto 555R 2's on ebay for like $450 unless anybody else has a better offer. I'll keep checking the classifieds.
