Hello everyone, I own a 03, awd vibe, and recently my front passenger side wiper wont start on its own. i have to help it to get going by pushing it with my hand. once i do this it will continue to run on its own. thanks,mike

sounds like the motor isnt powerful enough anymore to get it going or is the blade stuck/frozen to the windshield?

no, its not stuck. if i nudge it it will go untile it hits snow of a bit of ice. Is there one motor for both, or are there seperate motrs for each blade. thanks,mike

on my Mercury the linkage was plastic and wore out like you describe. I had to get new motor and all. The dealer did not sell just the linkage.
